Hear is an incredible program that allows you to transcribe text using the dictation feature directly from Terminal or convert audio and movie files into text. It utilizes the built-in dictation feature of Mac OS, making transcription tasks easier than ever before.
🔧 How to Use Hear:
Enable Dictation: Before you install Hear, ensure that dictation is enabled on your Mac. Check your system settings under keyboard preferences to turn on dictation.
Installation Steps:
- Visit the GitHub repository (link below) and download the latest release (version 0.4 as of now). https://github.com/sveinbjornt/hear
