Brilliantly useful skill! This one does a little bit of everything. It is extremely fun and simple to use for looking up just about any word-related thing. For example, getting definitions, example usages of a word, translations, and more. There is even a word of the day and quote of the day feature for when I want a little bit of inspiration. It seems like it was built to help people who work from home, so there are some features I don’t actually use like creating and tracking projects, but it is really useful to be able to add and lookup calendar events. Definitely one of the most powerful skills I’ve seen. It makes spreadsheets for you to track what it does, so if you look up translations you can see them directly on the spreadsheet as soon as they show up. This is actually a cool way of bridging the gap between voice and text, because it makes the voice lookup functionality a lot more useful.Check this skill out. You won’t regret it!
