OVOS count to N skill

🧮 Count Skill

CountSkill is a simple skill for Open Voice OS (OVOS) that counts from 1 to any user-specified number — or even infinitely — speaking each number aloud. It supports both cardinal and ordinal formats and works offline thanks to ovos-number-parser.

💡 this skill was made with the purpose of testing the stop pipeline and showing how to use ovos-number-parser

🔧 Features

• 📢 Speaks numbers up to a given limit or infinitely
• 🔢 Supports cardinal (e.g., one, two) and ordinal (e.g., first, second) formats
• 🌍 Multilingual support (depending on the configured language)
• 📴 Fully offline capable — no internet required
• 🛑 Responds to stop requests mid-count
• 🧠 Intelligent number extraction from natural language

🗣 Example Utterances

These require matching *.intent files in your locale directory.

• “Count to 10”
• “Can you count to twenty-five?”
• “Start counting”
• “Count infinitely”
• “Count to the 5th”

---

🧠 How It Works

• Extracts a number from user utterance using ovos-number-parser.
• Speaks each number up to the limit using pronounce_number.
• Optionally switches between short/long scales and ordinal/cardinal formats.
• Allows interrupting via stop or other cancel commands.

If the user requests infinite counting, the skill will count indefinitely until explicitly stopped.

🛑 Stopping the Skill

This skill implements can_stop() and stop_session() using OVOS session management. It can be interrupted with:

• "Stop"
• "That's enough"
• "Cancel"
