A personal project for my own whisper client so I dont have to run to my browser to use by far the best speech to text service out there. (Please add whisper to word Microsoft, dictation is terrible and you know it [Also Rider has a better spell checker than word, which is sad])
- Speech to text
- Saving the text to a file
That's it
- Windows
- An education that taught you how to read
- An API key from OpenAI
- Download the latest release
- Run the exe (it will error that's ok its meant to)
- Close the exe
- Press windows key + R and type
appdata - Navigate to
Local\BlackBird\Config - Open
.openaiand paste your API key in the file - Save the file
- Run the exe again
- Profit
- Click the big record button
- Talk
- Click the stop button
- Click the transcript button
- Copy the text or save it to a file
- Clone the repo
- Open the solution folder in a console of your choice
- Run
dotnet build
If that doesn't work you probably need to install the .NET 7.0 SDK
Just open an issue and I'll try to help you out.
A: Because Black Cockatoo's are an endangered species that are native to Australia that lack funding for conservation efforts
A:
1. easier to hide the API key from the public
2. Compered to other way I have seem this is easier for you. That's right I did this for you
A: Because I don't want to pay for your API usage. There are free alternatives out there if you look hard enough.
A: I may have made a slight blunder when naming the project, and rider keeps throwing errors when I try to rename it.
A: Yes and no, I made it for myself but I am also submitting it for a school project (Hi Miss, B I commented my work this time)
A: Its a WinForms app, so try Wine? If that doesn't work then no.
- OpenAI for the API
- OpenAI-DotNet for the API wrapper
- NAudio for the audio recording
- All the other libraries I used that I forgot to mention
