Usage

To run a command :

• Open a terminal
• Type sbire start
• Say the command ("Firefox" for example)
• The command will be executed

To write where your cursor is :

• Open a terminal
• Type sbire pipe
• Say the text ("This project rocks" for example)
• It will write the text where your cursor is

To write a text file :

• Open a terminal
• Type sbire save
• Say the text ("This project rocks" for example)
• A file will be created in ~\.sbire\text

To stop sbire, type sbire stop.

If you want to see what is written in the file in real time, run tail -f ~\.sbire\text.

Configuration

By default, the language is en-us. You can change it by changing the value of lang by your language. For example, to set it to French, write:

lang: fr-FR`

Bind phrase and commands

You can bind more complexe phrases with commands by adding a ~\.sbire\commands.yml file and write for example:

    "chromium-browser": ["open chrome", "chrome"]
    "skype": "open skype"

Pipe the text with a custom command

By default, when you use sbire pipe, it will use a command to emulate the keyboard. You can change it by editing the file ~\.sbire\config.yml and change the value of pipe_command by anything you want.

Add a shortcut

For some obscure reason, Ubuntu does not run ruby commands binded with a keyboard shortcut. You must install xbindkeys to make it work.
