dropbox Listen — Live Speech-to-Text via Moonshine
Transcribe speech from the microphone using the listen command (GPU-accelerated Moonshine ASR).
In this environment, listen is approved to run outside the sandbox via the
persisted command prefix ["listen"]; call it directly so it can access microphone
and GPU devices.
When to use
- When the user asks you to listen, hear, or transcribe what they say.
- When the user wants to dictate text instead of typing.
Usage
This command requires microphone access and cannot run inside the sandbox.
Ask the user to run it from the CLI prompt with !:
! listen
The user speaks, sees their words in yellow on the terminal, then presses ENTER to emit the final text to stdout and exit. ESC clears the buffer, ESC on empty quits without output.
Guidelines
- Always tell the user to run
! listen— do NOT call it via Bash (sandbox blocks mic access) - The command blocks until the user presses ENTER or ESC
- Model loads on first invocation (~1s warmup)
