Purpose

TalkTex is a tool for converting speech to Latex.

Status

Our first version is available for usage

Installation and Usage

Setup

If you have Ubuntu with root privileges then you can use the ubuntu-setup script to perform the setups.

./setup-ubuntu.sh

Otherwise, you need to find a way to manually install the packages from the ubuntu-setup and run common-setup

./setup-common.sh

Build

Run the following command:

./make-all.sh

Setup on university computers

To set up and compile TalkTex for the Leiden University computers in the computer labs, run:

./setup-302_306.sh

This will install the required Ubuntu packages and Python modules (that are not already installed) in user-mode. This script also performs compilation, so after running it you are ready to start using TalkTex.

Usage

For the default parameters, simply run the generated talktex command (a symlink to the actual executable).

Meson

We use Meson for our build system. If you want to read about its usage, you may read our Meson-manual for more information.

User guide

The user guide explains how a user should talk to TalkTex in order to obtain certain Latex output. The full TalkTex grammar can be found here.
