Overview

Voice dictation setup

Read the setup note and the chosen tool's current upstream instructions. Dictation is independent of Mr. Mak's conversational voice assistant. Keep the two workflows distinct.

Check the operating system, microphone, language and available hardware. Choose a local model that fits the machine. Verify the tool's defaults: a configured language or GPU build flag may need changing for this user. Do not promise that a build compiled with CUDA will run without the required runtime.

Choose a hotkey with the user before rebinding an existing shortcut. Test a short sentence in a plain text field, then in a terminal without submitting it. Check mixed technical vocabulary, silence and quick repeated recordings. Confirm that the next recording starts reliably after a failure.

Leave optional cloud formatting disabled unless requested. If enabled, explain which text goes to the selected provider and use the user's own credentials. Store only reusable setup notes in this project, not voice history or account settings. Do not restart Mr. Mak to configure a separate dictation application.

# Voice dictation setup

Read [the setup note](../../../knowledge/voice-dictation.md) and the chosen
tool's current upstream instructions. Dictation is independent of Mr. Mak's
conversational voice assistant. Keep the two workflows distinct.

Check the operating system, microphone, language and available hardware. Choose
a local model that fits the machine. Verify the tool's defaults: a configured
language or GPU build flag may need changing for this user. Do not promise that
a build compiled with CUDA will run without the required runtime.

Choose a hotkey with the user before rebinding an existing shortcut. Test a short
sentence in a plain text field, then in a terminal without submitting it. Check
mixed technical vocabulary, silence and quick repeated recordings. Confirm that
the next recording starts reliably after a failure.

Leave optional cloud formatting disabled unless requested. If enabled, explain
which text goes to the selected provider and use the user's own credentials.
Store only reusable setup notes in this project, not voice history or account
settings. Do not restart Mr. Mak to configure a separate dictation application.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

  1. 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
  2. 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
  3. 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
