🧩 Adopt a feature — pick an area to work on

[MSKazemi]

YazSes has 139 capabilities across 9 areas — see the full Feature Catalog. This thread is the front door for contributors: pick an area you'd enjoy working on and comment below. No experience with the codebase needed — say what draws you and we'll point you at a scoped first task.

We review fast and small PRs are genuinely welcome. Every area has real, self-contained work.

Area (features)	What you'd work on	Good if you like…
🎙️ Core dictation (19)	latency, audio capture, VAD, hotkeys, tray/overlay	systems / real-time
🎯 Accuracy & correction (20)	error-correction heuristics, biasing, hallucination guards	ASR / evaluation
🔤 Formatting & structure (31)	words → clean text/code/tables (the richest area for first PRs)	small, testable wins
✏️ Editing & navigation (13)	voice editing ("change X to Y"), structural selection	editor internals
⚙️ Commands & automation (12)	voice → actions, macros, per-app profiles	automation
🌍 Multilingual (7)	non-English models, code-switching, transliteration	languages / i18n (often docs+config, no deep code)
♿ Accessibility & input (20)	whisper-mode, endpointing, Braille out, switch access	inclusive design
🧠 Learning & memory (9)	opt-in on-device tuning (encrypted corpus)	privacy-preserving ML
🗣️ Conversation & recording (8)	meetings, offline file transcription, diarization	audio pipelines

How to start (pick one):

1. Comment below with the area(s) that interest you → we'll suggest a task.
2. Browse good first issues (many are 10–30 min).
3. Read How It Works + Contributing — Start Here.
4. Have a new idea? Open one in 💡 Ideas.

Two principles keep the project coherent: on-device always wins (no audio ever leaves the machine), and new features ship off by default. Welcome aboard 🙌
