speech-to-text.nvim

Neovim plugin offer speech to text capability using speech_recognition.

You can select your favorite engine for speech-to-text : whisper, openai, google, azure etc.. (All supported engines in speech recognition)

This is basically a tin wrapper around speech_recognition. So, you really want to check out its documentation. Should work OOB with whisper function.

Uses keyboard package , which I think on linux requires admin. Luckily, only used for detection of ESC so ESC might not work. Tested on windows only (but should work).

Installation

Use

Plug 'eyalk11/speech-to-text.nvim'

And then:

!pip install -r ~/.vim/plugged/speech-to-text.nvim/requirements.txt
:UpdateRemotePlugins

(Those are minimal requirements. It may need additional - see speech_recognition)

Alternative

Try

Plug 'eyalk11/speech-to-text.nvim', {'do': ':!python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt \| :UpdateRemotePlugins'}

Should work, but couldn't confirm this due to unclear output by vim-plug. Possibly OS dependet. Let me know if works.

Usage

It will add the

GetVoice() function - which returns text by speech

:Voice which replaces the selected range with text (by speech). Gets the same parameters as the ConfigureVoice commmand.

You can cancel both voice commands by pressing esc.

:ConfigureVoice [enginename] [paramsdic] - which configures engine parameters (can also be done by yaml config). The enginename and params would be used for the next Voice/GetVoice call.

Mappings

It doesn't add by default.

You may use:

nmap <c-L> :Voice<CR>
imap <C-L> <C-R>=GetVoice()<CR>
