Picker

A color picker whose grid opens on command and answers to color names: “color dark red”.

Speaking the command opens the swatch grid (once per listening session); whatever follows is matched against color names, most specific first — “dark red” wins over “red”. The palette is shared across all kits: light, base, and dark variants of nine hues, plus black and white — 29 names in all.

Basic picker

Loading the React Native kit…

Hold anywhere and say:“color”“color dark red”“color light blue”

import { ListensPicker } from "@listenssoft/speechui-react-native";import { useState } from "react";
function Demo() {  const [color, setColor] = useState("blue");  return (    <ListensPicker      label="Accent color"      command="color"      value={color}      onChange={setColor}    />  );}

What you can say

SayEffect
“color”Opens the swatch grid (once per listening session).
“color dark red”Opens if needed and selects dark red — most-specific name first, so “dark red” never lands on “red”.
“color … pink”The name may arrive later in the same phrase; the first matching color wins.
“purple (no command configured)”With no command set, any color name spoken selects directly.

The spoken names are: light/dark/plain red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, grey — plus black and white.

Behavior notes

  • React Native: The colors prop lets a native app supply its own palette; spoken matching then runs against your names.
  • All frameworks: Closing and reopening by voice within one hold is deliberate: the grid opens once per listening session, so interim re-deliveries don't flap it.
