Handy - offline speech-to-text app

also curious what Transcribe keyboard shortcut you setup to activate the application. Default appears to be CTRL-Space but the software does not seem to recognize that sequence when pressed from Squeekboard terminal keyboard layout.

Ideally there would be a custom hotkey in the squeekboard layout, similar to the microphone key on Android virtual keyboards.

Could you write your action step-by-step so I could reproduce it?
May be it worth to upgrade handy:see_no_evil_monkey:

  • Install Handy dpkg from terminal.

  • Launch Handy using phosh shortcut

  • Download parakeet model. Observe Handy crash shortly thereafter

  • Try to launch Handy using phosh shortcut. Fails.

  • Launch Handy from terminal, launches.

  • Scratch head and wonder how I can create a microphone button on the keyboard to trigger dictation listening mode, like Android/iOS.

I’m trying to re-install just the Handy app .deb codeberg app you linked to, but getting an ‘Invalid archive signature’.

I trust that it’s possible to install your Codeberg signature without having to setup the entire backports repository?

Will the Handy app install and run standalone without the other backports in the repo?

I also tried to install the Handy_0.7.5_arm64.deb package from the Librem 5 phosh gui, bypassing the checks, and that failed with the error message “Failed to install file: not supported”

Going to try the latest ARM .deb package direct from the web site https://github.com/cjpais/Handy/releases/download/v0.8.3/Handy_0.8.3_arm64.deb

…aaaaaaaaaannnd, that fails once again due to outdated glibc libraries on PureOS 11 Crimson. :face_with_steam_from_nose:
