Unfortunately, I need to depreciate the use of the script, because I am unable to maintain it due to my significant hand injury. I can write the code using Dragon NaturallySpeaking and PyCharm for Windows, but actually testing the script in a variety of Linux distributions is a nightmare because it requires a lot of typing.

I have updated the project readme to make a note about the depreciation.
