Sentence capitalization and punctuation not working as in demo

[joelostblom]

First of all, thanks for creating this! I am very excited to see such an accurate, accessible and extendable voice typing solution on Linux!

The youtube demo is very exciting and I would love to voice type with that accuracy. However, when I try to set it up myself, there seems to be no punctuation added. This is the command I am running:

./nerd-dictation begin --full-sentence --punctuate-from-previous-timeout 2 &

The first sentence is capitalized but no matter how long I wait there is no punctuation added. I have tried with different models, and all produce the same result. I initially thought that there was some background noise keeping the mic alive, but the --timeout option works as expected so that can't be it. Adding --continuous makes each new sentence capitalize, but punctuation is still missing.

After looking around a bit it seems like there is a bug that make the variable is_run_on never evaluate to true since age_in_seconds is always a really high number. However, even after manually setting is_run_on to True, I get only commas inserted unless I use the --full-sentence option in which case only periods are inserted. How can I include a mix of the two as in the demo video? Instructions of how to replicate the behavior in the video would be very helpful.

• Add punctuation support to example #50 (but in the video there is no need to say "comma" etc)

I do see the same issue, the overall app is amazing, once this punctuation gets working it will be very useful for rigorous dictation.

I've noticed this as well. If I have a rule for "period" and I actually say period, it will add it. Adding merely a pause it will butt the next sentence right to the prior with neither punctuation nor space.
Is there a way to fix that other than a regex?

Same issue here. Someone found a solution?
It is so sad this app just fail because of missing capitalization (punctuation can be add with keyboard, but not caps)
