SimpleSTT has now been deprecated in favor of Curses
Curses features and differences from SimpleSTT:
- Performance - Better text rendering performance, reduced memory usage
- Files - all assets (fonts, images, sounds) are stored locally, external hosting is no longer required
- STT - More stt/tts services
- VRChat - support for KillFrenzy's avatar text and default vrc's chatbox
- Discord - send STT to discord channel
- Twitch - 7TV emotes, Chat integration (STT->Chat, Chat->TTS)
- UI - Improved user interface that works well in both desktop and VR.
- Support - better support, discord release notifications, pre-made templates to get started
What's missing from the Curses app:
- Sharing captions with other people over the network (might add in the future)
Speech-to-text and keyboard input captions for OBS.
