Accents are not correctly transcribed

[SamirSaidani]

When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Space and speak french, I can see in the python terminal that the accents are correctly transcribed, but on the target windows, the accents disappears. To test, just say "Touché, coulé", transcribed as follow: "Touch, coul. "

Thanks a lot for this nice software, it helps a lot, I can't believe that this is the only opensource whisper-based dictation tool...

It is caused by the library for inserting the keyboard codes, it does not work with some keyboard layouts: https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/issues/137

I had a similar problem with my custom layout so made a Pull Request using another library that can fix that. Meantime maybe you can check if it works for you https://github.com/uberkael/whisper-writer.

Thanks.

Thank you uberkael for your fork, I get this error. Maybe someone an help me 🙏 (Info: ctrl+alt+space didn't do anything for me so I am trying with F-buttons instead)

Hi, I've approved and merged #10 to use pynput instead of pyautogui for transcription. This should fix the accent issue. Thanks @uberkael!
