What type4me-macos-voice-input does

This skill instructs your coding assistant on compiling and extending Type4Me, a native macOS dictation utility written in Swift. The application records audio through a global hotkey, transcribes it with SherpaOnnx or Deepgram, and injects the text into any active program. All credentials and transcripts remain strictly on disk without telemetry.

The assistant receives guidance on implementing the SpeechRecognizer and ASRProviderConfig protocols. This structure allows connecting alternative speech services, such as OpenAI Whisper, by defining custom credential fields and audio buffers.

Precompiled DMG releases omit the local Sherpa engine and run cloud providers only. Running speech recognition entirely offline requires compiling the repository from source using CMake and Xcode tools.

What it helps with

  • implement custom speech recognition providers in Swift
  • compile and package Type4Me from source via build scripts
  • configure local SherpaOnnx streaming models inside macOS folders
  • resolve audio capture and text injection issues in active windows

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build Type4Me from source with local SherpaOnnx engine support
  • Add an OpenAI Whisper provider using the SpeechRecognizer protocol in Type4Me
  • Set up offline Zipformer model files in Type4Me Application Support
