How-To Guides¶

Practical, copy-pasteable recipes for common YazSes tasks. Each guide is self-contained — pick the one that matches what you want to do.

Guide	What it covers
Add words to your personal dictionary	Teach STT names, jargon, and acronyms it keeps mis-hearing.
Create spoken macros and snippets	Say a trigger phrase to expand canned boilerplate or templates.
Change the hold-to-talk key	Pick a hotkey (and a dedicated command key) that never clashes with typing.
Dictate into a remote SSH host	Type with your voice into a shell or editor on another machine.
Aim dictation with your gaze	Glance at a window and hold-to-talk — the text lands in the pane you looked at (X11).
Transcribe recordings to text	Turn an existing audio/video file into text — offline, with speaker labels.
Tune for speed and accuracy	Choose the STT model, set the VAD threshold, and manage CPU load.
