[ANSWERED] real time voice to text into Izzy?

Notdoc

general question for the community:

I'm looking for a way to generate text directly from live speech in real time into Izzy and use it to place text onscreen using the Text Draw Actor, and I would welcome any suggestions you have or relevant examples. It's a no-budget project at the moment.

thanks

a couple of years ago i used https://www.speechtexter.com/ in a performance situation. When it was possible to delay the appearance of the text, I would copypaste the text into Isadora, but for realtime generation of text, I began using the browser window as a video source for the Screen Capture actor.

This is possible with Pythoner. I have started work on a script for this feature, but haven't had a chance to finish it yet. I got side tracked with a module used for selecting the audio device..
I'll get back to this soon.

I don't have the ability to write and modify all the code I need myself, but I've found that things like ChatGPT are generally pretty good at explaining to me what a given piece of code does and what I need to do in order to modify it to suit my intended purpose. It's helpful because I can actually send it code and ask specific questions in a conversational manner rather than trying to sift through google results in an attempt to find something relevant. That being said, LLMs do "hallucinate", so remember not to treat anything they say as absolute truth. (They're also good for asking for suggestions on where to find video or written tutorials to learn Python, JavaScript, etc.) The ethics surrounding using AI tools are certainly murky, but as I'm only using it for code I don't feel it's as heinous as using it to generate imagery. I also still hire actual programmers to write code for me when I need anything complex, so I'm not using it in an attempt to replace humans, I'm just using it as a learning tool and for little things here and there.
