Steps to get vosk-android as an input method on android?

See original GitHub issue

I’m looking for an open source solution to be able to dictate text to other apps on android. The kõnele project does just that but their app wants to separate the engine to a server that you can configure in the app, so I would need a server setup and running for it I guess? They provide a server for estonian language. https://github.com/Kaljurand/K6nele

Having tested the demo of vosk-android, I can see it understanding my english well, and it’s all happening on my device, which would be the preferred way. The only problem is that how can I get this as an input method to other apps.

The kõnele calls this feature I guess as a speech keyboard that implements the input method editor (IME) API https://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/InputMethodService

If no one has done this yet, what would be the course to take here? Should you fork and code the kõnele project and embed vosk-android there somehow, or would it be easy to just add the IME functionality to vosk-android? I`m very mediocre programmer, so this may be out of my scope, but I’m just curious.

I strongly suspect there would be a LOT of public $$$ FINANCIAL support for a project like this …

Could that help folks? If so how much $$ (hourly) would you need? And how much Monthly? I realise this is for numerous reasons probly not an easy question to answer…

We could look into setting up Liberapay for this!! (Context: liberapay is a Nonprofit alternative to Patreon; uses Stripe and Paypal as payment processors (those two charge processing fees, but liberapay itself doesnt) ; is supported wholly be its own platform (i.e. Liberapay eats their own dogfood to pay itself)… doesnt charge fees! )

Hello everyone, I’m sorry for the silence and inaction from my part. Covid is taking its toll on me as well and I find little time and energy to work on making vosk a recognition service. But I have not abandoned this project yet, though I cannot say when I will be able to take it on again. In the meantime everyone is welcome to contributing to the code and I will merge pull requests give pushing rights to whom is interested. The code on github is up to date, i.e. all the code I have is already pushed. Merry Christmas to you all
