Just a reminder for folks here with questions, I put this together to better clarify stuff. https://github.com/ctsdownloads/easyspeak/discussions

@matthartley Nice! One data point though - #Talon does have a free version. It's the evolving beta which costs money.

@matthartley very nice! This is an awesome software stack. I love the inclusion of openwakeword. If folks don't like "hey, Jarvis" it's easy enough to swap it out for another model. I was just experimenting with a "hey, potato" one with Home Assistant/esphome the other day.

@matthartley this is *fantastic* work. I especially appreciate the implementation of the "grid" keyword. Nice stuff. I wrote something like this a few years ago but ran into a wall when pyautogui wasn't supporting Wayland. If you're interested, here's the announcement on Reddit back then, which included a video: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mycroftai/comments/krmn8m/ Code is here: https://gitlab.com/danielquinn/majel

@matthartley I needed this three years ago when I dislocated my shoulder and couldn't type effectively. I cobbled something together with numen, but it was barely usable. Bookmarking this for the future!

@matthartley Thank you for this! I work in Accessibility Tech and I need more reasons to move participants to Linux.

@matthartley Can Emacs do it.

@matthartley Having more accessibility options on Linux especially Wayland is sorely needed. Thanks for making this thing! I am fortunate enough to not require stuff like this, but sometimes accessibility helps out in a pinch, and I am grateful for that.

@matthartley Some Questions about the language model for your speech-to-text. Where do you got it? Are there already some library's? Will it (does it) support other languages. And. Might be a key feature for a lot of (e.g. handicapped) people: is there a way to train on your own voice/pronunciations/way to speak. I know some guys who fail on the speech-to-text because of their ability to speak.

@matthartley genuine question, what would it take financially to develop it into a fully functioning replacement for Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking for windows? I can't type or edit anything longer than an email. I also can't code. The one thing missing from the FOSS ecosystem is a proper, fully functional voice to text suite. I want to help make it happen. also this is amazing and thank you

@matthartley thank you!

@despicable_me@mastodon.social 2026-01-06 21:55
@matthartley Wow, that looks incredibly nice. Something I especially noticed in the demo: why do you need a wakeword for every command? I imagine this would feel more natural: start EasySpeak -> always listening for commands -> pause/exit

@matthartley Would it work for we KDE users, too?

@matthartley@fosstodon.org is this gnome-specific or does it work on other desktops?

@matthartley Sounds interesting! Where can we see the video outside YouTube? Is there a Peertube version?

@matthartley Sehr interessant, Matt. Ich hatte vor knapp 30 Jahren "Dragon Dictate". Fand ich schlimm. Da ich Linux habe, wäre Easy Speak interessant. Frage: Kennt das Programm auch die deutsche Sprache? --- Very interesting, Matt. I had "Dragon Dictate" almost 30 years ago. I found it bad. Since I have Linux, Easy Speak would be interesting. Question: Does the programme also know the German language?
