feature suggestion/request - speech to text on keyboard using LiveCaption/april-asr project
-
Hi,
Recently I watched this video by Louis Rossmann: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/how-futo-projects-loosen-google's-grip:e where he talks about possibility of using open software project for speech to text processing on android phone (instead of google server based solution). This could work completelly offline and the accuracy for english language seems to be quite good and would be nice improvement to ubuntu touch keyboard.
Code of the project (link also in the description of the video I sent): https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions
I am aware that this is not a best time for adding features to ubuntu touch because there is still the transition to 20.04 going and many bugs needs to be fixed. But I just wonder was something like this considered and would it be possible to do it in the near future?
I am also considering to try to do it in the future if I will ever have the time. Would such improvement be likely to be accepted or rejected?
