I should maybe mention it's written in python & has the following dependencies:

Python 3.
The VOSK-API.
parec command for recording from pulse-audio (default)
- sox command as alternative
xdotool (default, X11 only)
- or ydotool command to simulate keyboard input (supports X11 & Wayland)

Looks like @badly-drawn-wizards had it packaged in their configuration in the past. Do you think the project is in a state worth packaging in Nixpkgs?

jtara1 commented 5 months ago

I packaged it myself, a little more hacky than the standard nix way, but it works.

nix run 'github:jtara1/dictation#nerd-dictation'

or your can import my flake in your inputs then add the package to your environment.systemPackages or home.packages. See my flake and readme.

If I made a PR for nixpkgs for this like #185148, I'd probably just need to patch the vosk-api python that links and imports C lib for vosk.
