Comment on Nerd-dictation, hackable speech to text on Linuxparent

Comments

How do the keybound scripts know when to stop listening? After a certain delay? Does the sentence-script just capitalize the first word and add a period to the end?

I'd love to see the scripts if you don't mind.

Just shortcuts to begin/end dictation.

Although I use a programmable keyboard, which I've configured to "push to talk", that is - I hold a key for dictation, releasing the case stops dictation.

I wonder if I could configure a shortcut such as Win-D (dictation) to start recording, and to poll the Win key to stop recording when it is released.

As long as you can run commands on key-press, I don't see why not.

You could test it with file creation/removal or something simple, the same will then work for nerd-dictation.
