N == How To Test == === Functionality Test === 1. Install required packages:`sudo dnf install ibus-speech-to-text` 2. Restart IBus using `ibus restart` command 3. Add `Speech To Text` in input sources 4. Launch the `IBus STT Setup` tool from the preferences for a configuration and to download a language model 5. Open a text editor 6. This Input Method can also be enabled and disabled with the default shortcut ("Win + Space") used to switch between IBus Input Methods == User Experience == Users will be able to: * Dictate text in any application supporting IBus * Switch between typing and voice input easily * Manage language models through a modern IBus STT Setup tool == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Remove the package * Contingency deadline: N/A * Blocks release? N/A == Documentation == == Release Notes == ibus-speech-to-text has been added to Fedora -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
