Elive has recently added a small own tool for voice control, useful for hands-free control your computer.
The tool is an extremely small and lightweight C source code that does voice recognition patterns, you have here two main usages:
GUI mode
GUI tool with a set of preconfigured (and editable) commands to listen and react

Commandline, use it as you wanth
For example, with this command just say "keyboard" to enable/disable access to the computer (activates/deactivates keyboard+mouse):
elive-listener "keyboard" | while read -r line; do ; case "$line" in "DETECTED: "*) echo bump ; input-toggle touchpad ; input-toggle mouse ; input-toggle keyboard ; ;; esac ; done
This command listens for your magic (secret) keyword, on this case "keyboard", to enable / disable (as a toggler) your keyboard + mouse + touchpad, I use it as my new "desktop lock" system since I want to still visualize my terminals working from far away, but if somebody try to interact with the computer it would not be able to do it, because the input systems are locked until you say again the magic keyword (unless somebody comes with an external mouse/keyboard and plug it on the computer, probably)
Note: requires "apug" to update elive-tools with fixes on input-toggler tool

There's a much better published demo: https://www.patreon.com/elive/posts/voice-control-in-153748762
, if you run the tool you will see a small helper about that, and about how to make "similar" words for your needs
