Microphone Text Input

by Jaffe2718

With Microphone Text Input installed, a player presses a key, speaks, and the recognized words are typed into the chat box as text.

What it does

The mod provides speech recognition input: spoken words are converted to text and placed in chat messages. Pressing the V key starts voice recognition. Three operation modes control what happens next, including AUTO SEND, which sends the recognized text to chat automatically, and RELEASE KEY SEND, which sends it when the key is let go. Microphone Text Input is a client-side mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so only the player's game needs it.

The mod depends on Architectury API, Fabric API and MidnightLib, which must be installed alongside it, while Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 26.1.2 across 22 release versions, and the latest files target 26.1.2. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links to the source, issue tracker and wiki are available.

Key features

  1. Voice-to-chat input

    Recognized speech is converted to text and placed in chat messages, so players can talk instead of typing.

  2. Three operation modes

    AUTO SEND, RELEASE KEY SEND and a manual mode let each player decide when the recognized text is sent.

  3. Advanced Whisper settings

    The configuration menu exposes parameters of the underlying Whisper library for players who want finer control.

  4. Custom dynamic library

    An option switches recognition to a custom dynamic library placed in a chosen directory, for systems with Vulkan drivers.

Use cases

Hands-free chat

Who it’s for: Players who use voice chat in multiplayer or want to speak messages while playing single-player. Only the client needs the mod, so servers do not have to install anything.
