I'm setting up a media PC for my TV using refurbished hardware. The biggest pain right now is controlling the interface. I got one of those cheap keyboards with trackpads but they stopped working in a month. Reading this post makes me wonder if I can reuse one of the old IR remotes lying around in my home. Generating shortcut keys and binding them might be easy but what can be done for text/voice to text input?
Maybe attach a microphone directly to the PC and trigger speech to text via the remote?
For software, there might be a wrapper for whisper which does what you need.
That sounds like a good approach. I'll try and explore this. Thanks.
