Hey John, good to hear from you. I might have a look at lightdm sometime. I=
 appreciate you getting back to me about it. But with slock setup to run on=
 suspend (when I shut the laptop lid) and the ease of running `slock` in th=
e terminal I'm sitting pretty comfy right now. :)

Do you know when the new model of Vosk is planned to release? I don't know =
much about any of the projects other than surface level stuff. But I combed=
 through old links and came across some new links that may interest you:
- Question 8 explains the difference between Caster and Dragonfly which is =
probably a good place to start. The next link below helps explain this answ=
er. https://caster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readthedocs/meta/Caster_FAQ/=20
- "The short version is: CCR allows you to speak sequential commands withou=
t pauses between them, greatly speeding up your ability to use commands in =
general." https://caster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readthedocs/Rule_Construc=
tion/Advanced_Caster_Rules/CCR/
- There's also the licenses for the non original code at the bottom of this=
 page. https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster/blob/master/LICENSE
- https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster/blob/master/requirements-mac-=
linux.txt
- A site called handsfreecoding.org has some posts about Caster and Dragonf=
ly. I'm not sure which posts are applicable anymore but there's a posts pag=
e and you can search the website for these terms.
- Dragonfly has eye tracking and OCR (Optical Character Recognition is the =
process that converts an image of text into a machine-readable text format.=
) capabilities. The gifs at this link and the video included are interestin=
g: https://handsfreecoding.org/2022/11/27/gaze-ocr-talon-support-and-10-new=
-features/

Looking forward to the new multiword changes and your upcoming game. What k=
ind of game are you making to integrate the art program into? It does seem =
like the multiword branch is working better than the master branch. Ex. I d=
idn't have to adjust the typedelay once you added the 'keyhold' and 'typeho=
ld' variables. I haven't been getting any gobbledygook (misspellings and ty=
pos) since changing typedelay on master and switching to the multiword bran=
ch. Also seems like I'm experiencing less random typing after saying scribe=
 but before I say anything else.

Haven't heard of parrot.py, but I agree the videos were impressive. From lo=
oking the project over in summary it looks to have the potential to be very=
 useful.
