I played a bit more with Numen (a cool voice control system, see https://numenvoice.org/). I can not only control my desktop, laptop, or linux mobile phone (#sxmo) with it, but also my house (lights, heating, media, etc) from all of these devices. Next I'll hook some mics to my raspberry pi's and control home automation from there.

All this on-device, no cloud connections, and definitely no "Hey Google", "Siri" or "Alexa"!

That's #numen 0.7 out! I also maintain bees now 🐝

Maybe everyone knows but I just found gUU makes a line uppercase in #vim. I've always used gUgU which is easy to goof. Now with #numen I say "gustshifturgemore". There's guu too.

Wrote a keyboard selection program I'm pretty happy with:

Here's me using it with #numen:

It's gonna be part of the desktop environment.

Got the vosk speech recognition library packaged and accepted into #voidlinux and the #numen template is awaiting review :)

#numen is now available on the AUR for anyone on desktop or #linuxmobile #Arch (or a derivative) looking to easily try out this voice recognition software. give it a try at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/numen. if you like it consider contributing to the main project at https://git.sr.ht/~geb/numen. i tested with #sxmo recently and was pleasently surprised at how efficient controlling my device was with it.

Hello from #numen on my #pinephone! This was completly written hands-free Using voice recognition. Being able to Entirely control your #linuxmobile Device With your voice is astonishing.

@drewdevault Indeed! #accessibility for power users is important. Numen is very promising and empowering. You might have seen it already but in case you haven't: Two days ago I made a demo video that shows it even works on a #pinephone: https://diode.zone/w/dYo8QcVVFFpzS7PwddFPMV ... Also an extra shoutout to #numen 's creator who is on new on Mastodon now (@geb), might be worth a follow.

@geb Good to see you here on Mastodon! Now you can spread the word of #numen yourself too :)
