Wow, this is so cool! xD I think this is the strongest usecase for AI I've seen so far. I'd love some more details on how you made it - how are you handling the speech to text? It's so clean, I was amazed it could understand my stuttering mess lol.
- cwbuilds 3y agoThanks! Speech-to-text is Whisper API, although that seems to have caused a couple of errors tonight so am considering moving away from it. Will have to have a think and do a lot of testing. I feel your pain, I've also been a stuttering mess in Romanian.
- davidzweig 3y agomaybe add a VAD in front of it? faster-whisper uses silero VAD.
- cwbuilds 3y agoWill look into it
- avn2109 3y agoYeah this is great, shocking how reliable the speech-to-text is even for my unconventional accent. Imho UX would be improved by a larger text box, more clear demarcation between "stuff I've said" and "stuff the bot said," similar to how iMessage or Whatsapp have two-column message layouts or blue-vs-grey or both. Also maybe some "hold spacebar to activate mic" keybindings would not go amiss, similar to how Zoom or Gmeet makes the mic hot if you're muted but hold spacebar. That would save a lot of choppy/distracting clicking. (Or possibly just make the mic hot all the time when the bot isn't talking?)
- cwbuilds 3y agoThanks - The larger text box has come up a few times so I'll fix that. Good point on not being able to discern between what you said and what the AI said. Will change that when I get a chance. Sure - I'll look into 'hold spacebar' type functionality. Thanks for the useful feedback.
