Stroop Test

What I built

A basic task that demonstrates the Stroop effect occurs when there is a mismatch between the name of a color and the color it is printed on. Adding Speech Recognition to recognize the answers makes it more interactive and the Speech synthesizer will guide you through the test

Description

The famous "Stroop Effect" is named after J. Ridley Stroop who discovered this strange phenomenon in the 1930s. Here is your job: name the colors of the following words. Do NOT read the words...rather, say the color of the words. For example, if the word "BLUE" is printed in a red color, you should say "RED". Say the colors as fast as you can. It is not as easy as you might think!
