Voice-to-Text Desktop Application

Overview

This is a desktop application that uses speech recognition to enable easy text input. It's useful when typing on a keyboard is difficult or when you want to quickly input text. The app launches with a shortcut key, converts your spoken words to text, and automatically inserts them at the current cursor position.

Features

• Windows/MacOS Compatible: Works on major desktop operating systems
• Shortcut Key Activation: Launch with a simple keyboard shortcut
• High-Accuracy Speech Recognition: Utilizing the latest speech recognition technology
• Automatic Cursor Insertion: Automatically inserts converted text at the active cursor position
• Background Operation: Minimal system resource usage

Technical Details

Platforms

• Cross-platform: Electron or Tauri
• Compatible with both Windows and macOS

Speech Recognition API

• Combination of local models and cloud APIs when internet connection is available
• Basic recognition possible even offline

UI/UX

• Simple, non-intrusive interface
• Accessible from system tray/menu bar
• Visual feedback during recognition

Implementation Plan

1. Research Phase

   • Investigation of existing speech recognition APIs
   • Verification of methods for inserting text at cursor position
   • Research on shortcut key implementation methods

2. Prototype Development

   • Implementation of basic speech recognition functionality
   • Development of text insertion mechanism
   • Creation of simple UI

3. Productization

   • Performance optimization
   • Final selection between Electron and Tauri (Tauri offers better resource efficiency)
   • Installer creation

Reason for Low Priority

This idea is currently set to low priority as I'm focusing on other projects. However, I may increase its priority if the demand for voice input increases or if related technologies advance significantly.
