Closed cristeigabriel closed 1 year ago

This requires the april-asr pull request I opened which catches macOS in preprocessor to be merged.

Here's a video of this in action

I am willing to help with updating other documentation or README and such to update the presentation to cover MacOS, so please point me somewhere that you'd want me to look and update.

Great work! I'm not sure about supporting it officially as I don't have a MacOS device, so I wouldn't be able to maintain or test it easily, and Mac OS already has a live caption feature on newer devices. But it's nice to have it work on Mac OS too

Yes indeed but sadly it sucks, this in my experience is better if I'm more careful with intonation. Thank you for your work

@abb128 An idea just came to mind. Obviously you're an open source software developer, so no-one should have expectations of you to provide any support for free, but if you become for some reason interested in supporting macOS, but you continue being troubled by the lack of access to a MacOS machine, I remember there was some project providing free access for open source projects with traction, to Mac virtual machines, exactly the same thing as CLion does.
