[AG-TECH] Voiceactivated Video Switching in AG3

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hi Pedro:

I came across this mail from about a year ago, and wanted to ask whether 
you have worked on this at all.
I'd be interested to see a solution in this space, and would be willing 
to answer any questions that came up.

Thanks,
Tom
