Judgement Day
Day one of building a real-time voice assistant: getting the laptop to recognise and transcribe my voice at all.
Ben Rees - 15 December 2024
I've started a new project to try and write some Python code so that I can talk to the laptop in real time as I'm working. The ultimate goal is to create a real time assistant who is making suggestions for me in conversations.
Today was day one. Despite many many false starts I finally managed to get the laptop to recognise my voice and start transcribing it. Let Judgement Day begin.
Next step, world domination.

There Are Two Kinds of AI Memory
New bjrees.com tracking data shows branded AI visibility holding steady for months while topical visibility decays in 6-7 weeks - confirming the AEO decay-curve hypothesis with real numbers.
