- What it is
- The README of Open Voice Input Linux, an IBus voice input method for Ubuntu 24.04. It says recognition uses an online speech service that the user chooses and pays for, describes the cleanup modes and term learning, and lists local speech recognition as not yet built.
- How much weight it carries
- The project's own README, read on 2026-10-22. The project describes itself as a public alpha, so features may change, and the page is in Chinese with English technical terms.
Facts taken from this source
- The project's README says its cleanup step does not call an LLM and adds no network request.
“清理不调用 LLM,也不增加网络请求,不替换术语、数字或大小写” (Paragraph on the 'cloud recognition' page's cleanup modes)
- The project's README says that correcting a phrase, such as 'bench mark' to 'benchmark', creates a rule for that phrase only and not for the whole sentence.
“例如把 bench mark 修成 benchmark 时,只形成这个短语的规则, 不会把整句一起记住。” (Paragraph on learning from exact edits)
- The project's README says it has no local speech recognition yet and does not register system shortcuts automatically.
“本项目目前没有本地 ASR, 也不会自动注册系统级快捷键。” (Notice above the install section)
- The project's README says that being a light client does not mean the app is fully offline.
“这是“轻量客户端”的含义,并不等于完全离线” (Section 'Small installer')
