Thanks Antoine! we're "there" :) The NATO alphabet is very distinguishable but we're also looking for efficiency as we're saying these phrases many times a day, and speech models are already very accurate recognizing syllables alone. Though it was a lot of trial and error to get to the phrases we have now. That said, some users have shared their alternate phrases, including Étienne who likes his abbreviated French NATO alphabet: https://gitlab.com/bersace/config/-/blob/master/files/.config/numen/fr/phrases/alphabet-abbr.phrases Thanks for getting in touch!

Hi Étienne, The `load` action can be used to switch phrases or pause numen. These commands will pause and unpause numen: $ echo load | numenc ... $ echo load /etc/numen/phrases/*.phrases | numenc And you could of course have these run on keyboard shortcuts. Glad you're liking numen :) John

Hi sublime, I thought wmenu worked in all Wayland compositors, but looking at the README I see it's "wlroots based Wayland compositors", which I think is the problem. Good to just check it on it's own: echo something | wmenu You might need to look for another dmenu replacement.

Deary me, that's the one that would have worked for me, but I don't use PulseAudio/PipeWire. I'm most hopeful for: plughw:CARD=Nano,DEV=0 but failing that I'd just try all the ones that mention Nano. Numen uses arecord internally and --mic is just like arecord's -D and --list-mics is just like arecord -L. arecord -D blah:CARD=blah -f S16_LE -c 1 -r 16000 > me.wav

Ah nice, try: numen --mic=sysdefault:CARD=Nano

Speedy email but try again after updating to at least commit: 6306cbd0a9cd8c21df3f9b3d7fe76d7ee22dab56 (which is before the overhaul but fix should fix --mic for you) git fetch git merge --ff-only 6306cbd0a9cd8c21df3f9b3d7fe76d7ee22dab56 sudo ./install-numen.sh
From John Gebbie to ~geb/numen
You can compare --verbose with --list-mics. I get: Microphone: sysdefault:CARD=Microphone and can see: ... sysdefault:CARD=Microphone Yeti Stereo Microphone, USB Audio Default Audio Device ...

Nice, I'm glad you're down with the changes and finding what's best. I really don't know my asound stuff. You can always check numen's using the right microphone/card with --verbose and --list-mics. Besides the cleanup, the new version has an action that lets you switch phrases or pause numen. For example, you can pause and resume numen on the command line like this: echo load | numenc; sleep 5; echo load /etc/numen/phrases/*.phrases | numenc The phrases for erasing and going to the start of the transcription (now "ditch" and "trudge") no longer get messed up if you type keys while they're going.

I decided to do a big rewrite so now numen's just one binary instead of the weird libexec dream. Now you should be able to just do: go run . phrases/*.phrases for your try-before-you-buying. --mic=hw:0,0 should work now too :)
From John Gebbie to ~geb/numen
Hi sublime, hope all's good. I did a big rewrite of numen so it's now just a binary rather than a hodgepodge with lots of scripts, but there are some changes that require updating the phrases. I've also introduced new refined default phrases that are more accurate and terse, but you're free to stick with the old ones if you'd prefer. If you'd like to update and try the new phrases, you could: git pull numen /etc/numen/phrases/*.phrases You can still get the old (but updated to work) ones if you want, like so:
