Say Anything

Say Anything is a Turtle Graphics-style drawing application driven entirely by human speech. You can move a virtual pen around on the canvas by turning, branching, and so forth. You can also save your images. A readout on the right hand side gives you feedback on what the computer (or, more accurately, cloud speech recognition system) thinks you are saying.
