Make an assistant for your computer in 5 minutes

Heard of the new iPhone 4S with Siri? In under an hour I made one for windows in VBS. Now I can open youtube just by saying "youtube OK"
or search google by saying "google OK" Get prepared for making your own new form of using your computer.

You will need

-Windows Vista and up Machine (if you want voice activation. if not windows 98 or higher)
-5 minutes
-Microphone (If you want voice activation)

Step 1: Setup Speech Recognition

If you want to use speech recognition with this follow these instructions. If not, skip to step two.

Go to

Control Panel>Ease Of Access>Speech Recognition>Train your computer to better understand you

Follow the directions that it gives you and read the text aloud.

Did you make sure you had quotation marks around the shortcuts?

here is the the code im useing Set Sapi = Wscript.CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")

dim Input

wshshell.run "%windir%\Speech\Common\sapisvr.exe -SpeechUX"
Sapi.speak "Please speak, or type, what you want to open?"
Input=inputbox ("Please speak, or type, game for games, command prompt for cmd, site list for sitegoto, calculator for the calculator, notepad for notpad, log_me_out for shutdown options, or close to close the program")

if Input = "Site list" OR Input = "site list"then
Sapi.speak "loading site list"
wshshell.run "C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\bat games\sitegoto.bat"

else
if Input = "Game" OR Input = "game" then
Sapi.speak "loading game list"
wshshell.run "C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\bat games\games.bat"

else
if Input = "command prompt" OR Input = "Command prompt" then
Sapi.speak "Opening command prompt"
wshshell.run "cmd"

else
if Input = "calculator" OR Input = "Calculator" then
Sapi.speak "Opening calculator"
wshshell.run "calc"

else
if Input = "notepad" OR Input = "Notepad" then
Sapi.speak "Opening notepad"
wshshell.run "notepad"

else
if Input = "log_me_out" OR Input = "log me out" then
Sapi.speak "starting log me out"
wshshell.run "C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\bat games\log-out.bat"

else
if Input = "close" then
Sapi.speak "Goodby Michael"

else
Sapi.speak "I don't recognize your input, Please try something else"
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if

when i type in game it says the right thing but then it gives me this error mesage " line 17 chariter 1 (witch is the wshshell.run code bit) Error the system cannot find the file specified"

Sorry it took so long to reply. Try just putting games.bat in the same folder assistant.vbs is in. Then instead of

C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\bat games\games.bat

put

games.bat
