dictation not working on recent commits

[colings86]

Commits after b26bf15ee1fb0b5feb6846d6e8077d8ee6cc9028 on the main branch cause all dictation (say command, formatters and dictation mode) to not work for me using Talon 0.3.0 on a Mac M1. The talon.log file shows the following error when talon starts up. Checking out commit b26bf15ee1fb0b5feb6846d6e8077d8ee6cc9028 directly makes dictation work and does not show the error on startup but the (currently) three commits after that on main do not work for me.

Note that another user has also reported seeing this on the Talon Slack chat (https://talonvoice.slack.com/archives/C7ENXA7C4/p1658075312159609?thread_ts=1658061197.879179&cid=C7ENXA7C4).

It seems that this commit (2bafd31d) might be the cause since it seems to add the collections.abc.Sequence that the talon error above mentions

Reverting the commit mentioned above locally also solved the issue. Not that I'm suggesting that should be the fix here, only that this indicates that particular commit seems to be the cause.

Please remove pyupgrade from the knausj_talon process and revert any typing changes for now until I have official advice on this.

In general, pyupgrade seems like it's a bad idea to run automatically on talon repos. Any syntax upgrades should be intentional and measured.

This should be fixed now. If you could confirm it works for you that would be great.

Thanks for the super quick fix. I can confirm that the latest main commit works for me.
