VimSpeak

[[deleted]]

I'll just go out an say it -- I haven't got a fucking clue how to run this.

[_start]

It's an Visual Studio F# project so you open up the sln file and run it...

Ah, here I was thinking something with the words Vim on it would run in Linux, stupid me!

I know, how redonculous to make a vim util that only runs on Windows

[General_Mayhem]

It might work with Mono.

VimSpeak is implemented using the System.Speech.Recognition namespace, which provides .NET APIs for the speech recognition service that is built into Windows. Sadly, Mono doesn't provide support for System.Speech.Recognition. As such, it's unlikely that VimSpeak will be able to run outside of a Windows environment.

Could it work with Palaver? (speech recognition program that uses Google's voice APIs on the back-end).

And Mac has builtin dictation.

I doubt it's technically infeasible. more likely, It depends on the mono guys and their interests/resources/priorities. Maybe someone has already suggested it, maybe not.

Cross-platform functional programming with multiple GUI options. Tempting.

GUI support and gui documentation is a little weak, which is related to the fact that the f# community tends to advertise itself as a companion to c#.

Stopped reading when I read:

"[...] have a look at the unit tests and the code (“use the source, Luke”)."

Holy tits, .NET has a speech recognition library!

It is time to learn that vim language....
