OVOS audio recording skill

Audio Recording Skill

Record audio to file, requires ovos-dinkum-listener

About

continuously record audio to file and disables wake words/STT while active, made for ovos-dinkum-listener

A similar skill that saves text transcriptions instead of recording audio is OpenVoiceOS/ovos-skill-dictation

in order to avoid users accidentally locking themselves in recording mode a special kind of wake word called a stop hotword can be configured, these special hotwords are only used during recording mode and will restore the listener to default state if detected. By default no stop hotword is pre-configured

when started via this skill a audio recording will time out after 4 minutes (max_recording_seconds in skill settings)

if a mycroft.stop bus message is emitted (eg, "stop" via cli) the skill will take dinkum out of recording mode if recording was initiated by this skill

TODO: dinkum should have a native (optional) timeout setting, using VAD to automatically stop recording after X seconds of silence

Examples

• "new recording"
• "start recording"
• "new recording named {file_name}"
