So Murmur is a tool that allows you to do dictation and text to speech locally.
00:05
It's all private, all open source.
00:07
Think about it like Whisper Flow plus speechify combined into one.
00:11
So here, if I'm working on a project, instead of typing a bunch of things out, I can just explain that I want to implement XYZ features.
00:20
Please do it for me, make no mistakes.
00:27
And there you go.
00:28
It will be transcribed.
00:29
Now there's another mode.
00:31
Instead of pressing a function, I can press function control and then start speaking.
00:36
And if I make a mistake, and if I make a mistake, and if I make a mistake, I can have it be fixed for me.
00:43
So this is transcription plus refinement.
00:54
And there we go.
00:57
Now the other thing this allows me to do is once I get a response back, I can just highlight the response, press Control shift R.
01:10
And have the text read back allowed to me.
01:14
So again, you can use this for dictation and you can use this for text to speech.
01:19
It's all local, all private, all open source.
01:24
Now to download Murmur, you're going to go through this setup screen, which is very simple.
01:29
You're going to click Get Started.
01:30
You're going to give it access to accessibility and your microphone.
01:34
You're going to download these models locally.
01:37
So again everything is on your own computer and then you're going to test it out.
01:42
So here I can just press the function key and start talking.
01:46
There we go.
01:47
And then here I can press again, command command shift R to read this.
01:58
Perfect.
02:00
And then we're all set up and you can go here you can change the model, you can change speed.
02:06
So for example, if I go to read aloud I always do 2x speed.
02:09
I like Puck as the voice.
02:12
And you can also change the refinement prompt.
02:16
So here you can go to dictation.
02:18
And this refinement prompt here you can tweak so that it refines your response exactly how you want.
