installing and using vocalinux


Install

curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/jatinkrmalik/vocalinux/main/install.sh -o /tmp/vl.sh && bash /tmp/vl.sh
  • I used Whisper.cpp with the VOSK backend
  • I installed it as a service to run on startup.
  • I also had to add my user to the input group and restart my computer.

By default, the executable is not in the system path, so I used this command to start it manually if needed.

source ~/.local/bin/activate-vocalinux.sh
vocalinux

Notes

It doesn't seem like the voice commands actually work, but instead punctuation is automatically added.
