If you are using any of those services you need to migrate to
webhook2fedmsg (github2fedmsg replacement) or fedora-messaging [1]
(fedmsg replacement).

== Summary ==
ibus-speech-to-text will provide voice dictation capabilities to any
application supporting IBus input methods in Fedora Linux 42, using
VOSK for local voice recognition.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:matiwari|Manish Tiwari]]
* Email: matiwari [at] redhat [dot] com
== Detailed Description ==
* ibus-speech-to-text provides a new input method that enables voice
dictation in any application supporting IBus
* Uses VOSK for local voice recognition, not requiring internet connectivity
* Supports multiple languages through downloadable voice recognition models
* Includes a setup tool built with GTK 4 and libadwaita for model
management and configuration
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
This package will bring several benefits to Fedora:
* Provides accessibility improvements through voice input capabilities
* Offers offline voice recognition, preserving user privacy
* Integrates seamlessly with existing IBus infrastructure
* Supports multiple languages through downloadable models
* Enhances user productivity through voice commands
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Package ibus-speech-to-text
([https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2309811 review]) [done]
** Package dependencies: gst-vosk
([https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2309810 bz]) and
vosk-api ([https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2303960 bz])

* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
== Early Testing (Optional) ==
Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N
== How To Test ==
=== Functionality Test ===
1. Install required packages:`sudo dnf install ibus-speech-to-text`
2. Restart IBus using `ibus restart` command
3. Add `Speech To Text` in input sources
4. Launch the `IBus STT Setup` tool from the preferences for a
configuration and to download a language model
5. Open a text editor
6. This Input Method can also be enabled and disabled with the default
shortcut ("Win + Space") used to switch between IBus Input Methods
== User Experience ==
Users will be able to:
* Dictate text in any application supporting IBus
* Switch between typing and voice input easily
* Manage language models through a modern IBus STT Setup tool

Hi everyone,
as was already announced in Announcing Webhook To Fedora Messaging
<https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/announcing-webhook-to-fedora-messag…>
Fedora Infrastructure team is working on replacement of github2fedmsg
<https://apps.fedoraproject.org/github2fedmsg> service. As the
replacement is already deployed and users already had a few months to
migrate to webhook2fedmsg we decided to say goodbye to github2fedmsg.
The date that github2fedmsg will be decommissioned in fedora infra is
3rd February.
If you are using github2fedmsg and didn’t migrate to webhook2fedmsg yet,
please follow the steps in the previous announcement mentioned at the
beginning of this article.
Following are the reasons for the replacement of github2fedmsg:
* Old codebase with not much test coverage
* Last version released 10 years ago
* Running on now EOL RHEL7 machine
* Last service still using deprecated fedmsg (fedmsg will go away with
github2fedmsg)
* Support only for GitHub
On behalf of Fedora Infrastructure team,
Michal (zlopez)
