Setup

Make sure ffmpeg is installed and added to your PATH

Quickstart

Assign your OpenAI API key to the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable and run:

desk-talk --ptt-key scroll-lock

Or pass your OpenAI API key as a flag like so:

desk-talk --ptt-key scroll-lock --api-key [YOUR_API_KEY]

desk-talk will now record every time you hold down the ptt-key, and type what you spoke every time you release it.

Other Usage

If your key shows as Unknown(number), pass number to the --special-ptt-key flag like so:

desk-talk --special-ptt-key 125

Non-default recording device
