TalkCalendar

TalkCalendar is designed to simplify the process of calendar recording. Traditionally, we need to open the calendar, add an event, input the title, choose the time, print the details, choose the calendar type and finally save. But now, you only need to speak and confirm. Boom—done. Then the events were successfully recorded. Simple as that. please contact me if you have any suggestions :571327855@qq.com; +86 18519113153;
