This is not the case for phone users. We can say \"press or say 1 for food, 2 for shelter, etc..\" or use voice recognition for a set vocabulary but then we must explain the available words, etc.\n- User can only select from the first 9 search results\n\nTODO\n----\n- Add information for contributing to this repo (it's very much welcomed)\n- Add screenshots and/or recordings to demo functionality\n\nSteps to recreate\n-----------------\n\n1. You will need to have [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/), [Rubygems](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3), [Heroku](http://docs.heroku.com/heroku-command) and [Git](http://book.git-scm.com/2_installing_git.html) installed first.\n\n2. Drop into your command line and run the following commands:\n  * `git clone http://github.com/marks/ohana-sms.git --depth 1`\n  * `cd ohana-sms`\n\n3. Edit the `config.yml` to use suit your preferences and make sure following ENV are set (Google Analytics ones and are optional):\n  ```\n    OHANA_API_KEY=your_api_key\n    GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_DOMAIN=yourdomain.com\n    GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=UA-XXXXXXXX-XX\n  ```\n\n4. Back at the command line, issue:\n  * `heroku create`\n  * `git push heroku master`\n\n5. Log in or sign up for [Tropo](http://www.tropo.com/) and create a new WebAPI application.\n    For the App URL, enter in your Heroku app's URL and append `/index.json` to the end of it.\n\n6. That's it! Call in, use, and tinker with your app!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarks%2Fohana-sms","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmarks%2Fohana-sms","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarks%2Fohana-sms/lists"}
