@usul @376b78fc7223 sorry, I've been sick. I think I confused deepspeech with mycroft's packaging.

Is it true that it can only do ~5s of audio at a time? Is there any useful control app for this or do I have to roll my own?

@cris @lanodan except Mycroft requires an online connection.

@Zero_Democracy love it when creators actively deride their fanbois

@darrenpmeyer I'll look at Kaldi, it looks like I'll need to train it a lot.

DeepSpeech still requires an online connection, they haven't gotten an offline install working yet, and it's very computationally intensive. Have my eye on it :)

@feld yeah it's been a LONG time and it's not available for purchase anymore

@gedvondur no, it's a good suggestion. an MSFT employee encouraged me to do a VM with Win10 in it.

I need to come up with something, soon. My hands are in a lot of pain.

@lanodan Still online, still mandatory connection to their service to use. :(

@usul Still requires an online connection to work. Their offline version is stalled out with big problems :(

It's the most promising, I agree, though the amount of HW you need to run it locally is astounding...

@gedvondur Thanks. I'm aware of Mac and Windows based solutions. Those don't help me on my laptop (without a VM, and possible license violation in the case of macOS.)

@interneteh me! i should not have kids. i can make that happen!

Anyone know of any *working* Linux speech recognition software (dictation, not mouse control)???

Something that doesn't require being online and sending all my voice to the cloud maybe???

The situation looks dismal:

Best solution so far looks like VMWare + Windows license + buy a license of Dragon but it's impossible to fathom doing that.

My hands are in pain, all the time. Yes I'm seeing a doctor about it. But I need solutions *now* damn it.

@gatewave I'm going to need actual TB3 ports and possibly hackintosh support, so AMD is probably out :( but thanks for the info

I'm looking at building a new PC. What motherboards are people using these days?

I remember reading some shit about ASUS being a bad corporate citizen but I can't find anything about it newer than 2013. Anyone know if there's a good reason I should avoid them?

@brainblasted @Shrigglepuss @deejoe send the info over, i'll decide later. thx.

@brainblasted @deejoe Wow, missed this one while I was away from the fediverse. :(

Sucks, because I preordered that phone and think the HW is the right direction. Don't think I can cancel my order now...but will have to look at Pinephone whenever it actually is a real product, too.

Thanks for the tip. Even if I end up using the One I'll not recommend it to others now.

@CobaltVelvet hi <3
