A Crazy Idea I had for a Plugin!

[Finn Lancaster]

Good Day to You All:

Yesterday, I had my first day of school after the Summer Break, and quickly grew bored of taking notes while my professors talked. I had the bright idea of creating a quick script to DO the notes FOR ME, which is now open-sourced at https://github.com/flancast90/NoMoreNotes, leveraging the free Google Speech-To-Text API (no key needed, somehow).

All of that got me thinking: What other uses could I find for this technology, particularly in Web-Dev (my main area of interest)? This morning, I then thought: What would Speech-To-Text look like in TW5?

I have now taken the liberty of making a repo on github to make this idea a reality, at https://github.com/flancast90/Speech-To-Text-in-TW5/, but I do not have the TW-plugin syntax to do this. 

I would really appreciate it if anyone in this group would lend their expertise whom I could as a collaborator on the repo, where they could cover the plugin UI (buttons on sidebar, etc.), while I could add the logic for the speech to text behind them. 

Anyone interested in this, please feel free to leave your Github username (so I can add you), and I will elaborate more on the idea in the Discussions tab of the repo after. Thanks!

I would love to help but may not have the skills, 

• however I recently found the google speech to text is excellent and the Microsoft desktop one unusable. 
• So it is trivial to used other apps or tiddlywiki on my android phone to dictate into tiddlywiki. Great for English, but perhaps useless for wiki code.
• Of course it would be great if it can be deeply integrated with tiddlywiki, however I question if the effort would be better applied to improving a workflow between android and ones desktop tiddlywiki's.
• I am sure there must be browser plugins, or applications that can operate on top of the browser so you do not have to maintain a separate solution. Just document it well for users. Then the solution would have even broader applicability.

@TW Tones, It would be great to have your help! 

As stated, you need not have much programming experience, I am just looking for someone more familiar with TW and specific TW syntax for making the plugin. From what I have seen, plugins use a specific form of JS (https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/static/How%2520to%2520create%2520plugins%2520in%2520the%2520browser.html). I can cover the logic portion of the JS code myself, as long as someone can make that vanilla JS actually run in TW5.

In the meantime, I will add you to the repo as a contributor with full privileges. 

Thanks so much!

Flanc...

I will join up but the area you need help in is not my own. 

I have intentionally focused on understanding tiddlywiki as a designer or superuser without recourse to Javascript to solve problems. I am keen on promoting democratisation of software through tiddlywiki and relying on Javascript solutions, is not part of a totally open platform, although its presence is important.

Not withstanding this, I can help in many ways, I am sure.

The key is for you to learn how to create macros or widgets that "export" the functionality within javascript code into tiddlywiki in a way that it honour's TiddlyWiki mechanism's, which is where all the magic happens.

Checkout https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/ if you have not yet, and Javascript development questions may be best put here https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/discussions

This is a really neat idea. I am terribly busy at work, and also with my TW5 "multiplayer" experiments, but this seems worth following. I may be able to help in a few weeks.

Best,

Hi, I have some experience in WikiText and plugin authoring and I'd be glad to help where I can

Awesome, BurningTreeC and Joshua! 

I can add both of you as collaborators to the repo. 

First things first, I think we need to decide on a method of conversion from the JS I’ll upload to the specific method of usage in TW5. 

If anyone else has better ideas, let me know! I’m not really set on one work-sharing method, so anything goes!
