@niplav I was positively buoyed the other day by the fact that the speech-to-text AI (I think it was OpenAI) I used recognized the name "Brian Tomasik". Windows Voice Access, however, spells it as "Thomasik".
@rime what do you use speech-to-tex for?

@niplav Another thing I use STT/TTS for is being able to quickly ask fact like questions without leaving my computer-free-zones desk/couch/bed. I get too deep into looking things up if I actually use the PC.
Google Assistant is good for very well-defined questions (e.g. "what's the elimination half-life of 5-HTP?"), and has the advantage of not being able to confabulate plausible-sounding answers unless it has a source.
@niplav For GPT speech, I currently use VoiceWave¹, because it allows keywords like "send" and "clear". I talk to myself a lot, so it's important that I be able to control what's actually sent. OpenAI's app stresses me out.
There are better tools for this, including open source and customizable (e.g. KoljaB's repos²), but I haven't prioritized setting setting up yet.
