I am an advocate of dictation, but it would be great if the readme answered the following:

1. Avg error rate on a sample set 2. Trainability 3. Average error rate on sample after n hours of training

The alternative to this is Google, Apple, and Dragon, so it would be good to know what is in here.

This seems to be using Electron's text-to-speech so presumably, it's a wrapper around Google?

The screenshot indicates that it is indeed a wrapper around Google Chrome's speech recognition capabilities.

It uses Chromes speech to text api. But I don't know, if it could compete with https://cloud.google.com/speech/.

There is no training involved/possible.

The spoken Texts need to be corrected. That is why I integrated a grammar and spelling checker. But you will usually have to do some editing.

Awesome! Would be great if one could use the keys ", ., ,, ;, and maybe p or [ENTER] for newline.

Another cool thing would be to prepare a voice recording (3 minutes) and play it on the same speaker to: (A) google voice in speech input in docs API, (B) apple's dictation, and (C) this app, and compare the accuracy. I bet the Mac speech API will do best, but Wrythe won't be far behind...

Don't know if I agree with the utilizing the whole "spell the word differently so it looks cool" naming scheme in this use-case...

sorry, it was the first that came to mind.

"WRite like You Talk e" The main idea is, that it is easy to google.

I haven't written anything with electron... how do I install/run it?
