Voice to text with LiveCaptions

[GreyGeek]

I installed a nice tool that converts voice into text without the need to connect to an internet server. It comes pre-trained and does a remarkable job.
https://flathub.org/apps/net.sapples.LiveCaptions

Using Flatpak to install it:
flatpak install flathub net.sapples.LiveCaptions

and to run it:
flatpak run net.sapples.LiveCaptions

It also installs itself into the KDE Menu so you don't need to open a Konsole and run the cli command above.

My wife was watching Perry Mason on a TV which was about 10-12' away. Using my laptop microphone, which was covered by a NoteIt, LiveCaptions picked up and translated the voice extremely well. Speaking to it directly from about 18" it perfectly translated my voice into text.

Adding a different model - namely the aprilv0_en-us.april one (only English one available to add) seems to work better than the built-in one.
I was playing with this while playing back the video from Louis Rossmann talking to the developer, and the stock model couldn't 'hear' the softer-spoken dev, lol.

Not bad at all, and doesn't use external resources.

Rossmann is where I ran across it too!
Thanks for the tip about the model!
