As an alternative for the ‘Dictate’ option in Word?
I have searched for it, but most of them seem to be for Linux, Macos and Android.
I know of Sayboard and Whisper on Android.
I have seen whisper installation setups and have tried it, but havent’t seen one that can directly dictate into other open apps.
Are there any applications which can directly enter the dictated text into an opened word or text file? One which can directy dictate into Word or Libreoffice Writer?
Thanks in advance.
Simon is the only one I can find. I’ve no experience with it - just did some searching out of curiosity. Seems mainly for Linux, but the page says there’s Windows support, too.
Thank you
No problem. In what is perhaps a bit of serendipitous timing, I also just came across this Android app which aims to make an Android device plugged into a PC via USB look like a standard keyboard & mouse - although it looks like your device needs to be rooted. If Simon doesn’t work out for you (I see the Windows version hasn’t been updated in over a decade, and even the Linux version has only seen sporadic activity), then perhaps this app in combination with the apps you mentioned in your OP could suffice for your needs (assuming you have an Android device since you specifically called out a couple of apps for it).
Do you have any programming experience?
Whisper.cpp is fairly easy to use, there are plenty of open source libraries for audio input, and sending text as keystrokes in Windows is quite easy.
There may very well be an existing solution, but if you want to put something together yourself, all the major building blocks already exist. You’d just have to write the code to tie it all together.
Thank you.
I have only a basic understanding, like how for loops and small functions work.
I currently have whisper installed and I can get it display what I see on cmd. If the apps don’t work, will try that option.
I’m just commenting for engagement, I hope you get a useful answer! :)
