• ZDNet ☛ How to enable speech-to-text in Linux with this simple app

  I'm not a big user of speech-to-text but that's only because I "word" for a living and still have fingers that are capable of typing very fast. That's not something I ever take for granted. And given I've known many people over the years who depended on speech-to-text, I am always very grateful to point out the means to make an operating system more accessible.

  So, when I came across the Speech Note app, I was thrilled to find it was quite simple to add speech-to-text in Linux. However, once I installed the app and started using it, I realized that it comes with a considerable caveat…it requires power (and a lot of it).

• University of Toronto ☛ Finally noticing a quiet speedup in my environment

  As an (N)MH frontend, exmh (also) is no exception to this. In fact, when exmh was written it was felt that listing all MH folders was sufficiently costly that exmh should not merely cache this information in memory, but record it in a persistent cache file, normally ~/Mail/.folders (which then became a convenient thing to use from the command line, for example to grep to see if you had a particular folder already and where exactly in your folder hierarchy you'd put it). Exmh updated this .folders cache if you created or renamed folders inside it, but if you did that outside of the command line, you would get to click on the 'Find all folders' menu item. Forgetful people might well invoke this every so often just in case.
