VimSpeak

An experiment in hands-free editing, aiming to make the craft of software engineering more accessible.

Requirements

• wget
• Rust version 1.41.1 (or greater)
• GNU Make

Building

Unfortunately, project requirements make running cargo standalone a bit more complex than usual. Instead, you'll likely use the provided Makefile which presents the following commands:

• make: clean dependency and build directories before downloading the DeepSpeech native client for a given operating system and architecture
• make clean: remove temporary dependencies and build artifacts
• make build: sets the environment variable LIBRARY_PATH to point at required dependencies before calling cargo build

Why Vim?

At the core, Vim's modes and key commands are essentially a grammar for communicating with your editor.
