Dragonfly Grammars for Coding by Voice

A simple way to setup voice coding in Linux, and Windows using Kaldi on Linux and WSR on Windows Grammar avalible for Python, Javascript, React.js, HTML, CSS, Java, and C#

Setup an installation

• Clone this repo using GIT
• If you haven't installed dragonfly yet run this command -- For linux

pip install 'dragonfly2[kaldi]' 

-- For windows

pip install dragonfly2

• Install a Kaldi model from (https://github.com/daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar/releases) -- I recommend kaldi_model_daanzu_20211030-biglm.zip -- If you are feeling risky you can train your own model (http://jrmeyer.github.io/asr/2016/12/15/DNN-AM-Kaldi.html) -- download and place into the directory you clone the project.
• On Linux you may need install some extra software

sudo apt install wmctrl xdotool xsel

• You may now try it out

python kaldi_module_loader_plus.py

• On some linux distributions you may need to use this command instead

python3 kaldi_module_loader_plus.py

• On Windows you may need to use the python loader py

py -3.6 kaldi_module_loader_plus.py

How to use

• Once it is running say wake up. If everything is working you should hear a voice prompt stating that it's awake.
• Say enable [language of your choice]. You should hear a voice prompt stating that the language has been activated
• You can combine some grammars just be aware that some may have conflicting rules -- For example I often combine HTML and Javascript
• You can manipulate the cursor by saying up, down, left, right plus the number of times you want it to move
• You can combine commands for example "shift" + "direction" + "number of moves" or "ctrl" + "up/down" + "number of moves"

Tech
