Change the 30 Second Recording Limit #55

Open WesleyFister opened 6 months ago

WesleyFister commented 6 months ago

Allow the user to change or disable the recording limit and by default if the user is holding the microphone button disable the limit.

It would be very nice to be able to record/speak a bit longer. Can a "stop recording" button be implemented? I can imagine the benefits of having a speaking limit but 30 seconds is a bit too little.

Would it be possible, for example, to allow a user to record/speak up to 5 minutes, and the user can stop whenever within this limit?

WesleyFister commented 6 months ago

We already have a "stop recording" button. When recording the user can tap the microphone button to end the recording whenever they choose.

natarslan commented 6 months ago

Thats true. :) Im a new user so I missed that "stop button". Still, longer recording time would be great. Is it feasible to prolong the speaking time or is there a technical reason behind 30 sec?

WesleyFister commented 6 months ago

Whisper splits audio into 30 second chunks but that shouldn't be a limiting factor. Maybe, audio that is greater than 30 seconds experiences a massive slow down or something? I'm not entirely sure of the reason myself and would like to know this as well.

Thank you for the quick reply. : )

Found this post talking about the reason behind 30sec.

I also read this project where one can record a longer audio and then split them into 30sec chunks and merge the transcribed result (if im understanding it correct). But perhaps its not a neat solution for futo.

I really hope they can do an auto splitting thing so that we can indeed record longer than 30 seconds.

I would love to use the better speech recognition of whisper to do my multi minute long brain dumping sessions using speech

Not that I like the idea of brain dumps but this would be a great use case. In the meantime, if you're on Linux you can use SpeechNote that would do the same thing but with bigger/better models.

Thanks for the recommendation! (I'm on linux) so I'll check it out. Currently I'm just recording my voice and then putting it through Whishper https://github.com/pluja/whishper/
