Hi,
I noticed Fedora 42 had this release goal:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ibus-speech-to-text
What is the current state of speech-to-text input method / apps in
Debian? Anything you recommend?
I tried to find information on the topic, but I didn't find anything,
which could mean there is no speech-to-text support in Debian
currently. The closest thing I found was an RFP: vosk-api (#1051812)
from 2023 but no activity recently.
In the mobile Linux world there is also
https://keyboard.futo.org/voice-input-models which is based on
Whisper, and maybe if those models were in Debian something in Gnome
could re-use them.
I might have energy to package something, but first I need to get a
better understanding of the landscape in general and what is the state
in Debian currently around this topic.
I am not aware of any that has been packaged. One major issue is that many
contemporary speech-to-text solutions require neural models to work
properly, which may have dfsg issues when packaged in Debian.
A more possible example that may integrate with existing input methods could
be https://github.com/xifan2333/fcitx5-vinput .
Thanks,
Boyuan
