About curses

curses is a Windows application for speech-to-text and keyboard input captions for OBS, VRChat, Twitch chat, and Discord. It can send captions to OBS as a browser source or native stream captions, support VRChat chatbox and KillFrenzy avatar text, post speech-to-text to Twitch chat or a specified Discord channel, and use Twitch chat messages as a caption and text-to-speech source. Captions can be customized in OBS with colors, fonts, shadows, background textures, typing animations, sound and particle effects, and CSS; multiple designs can be saved and switched automatically when OBS scenes change.

Speech-to-text and text-to-speech can use providers such as Microsoft Azure, Speechly, Deepgram, WebSpeechApi, Uberduck, TikTok, and Windows API (SAPI), some of which are external services. The project is Windows-only, open source under AGPL-3.0, and lists Vosk, OpenAI Whisper, and VoiceVox as roadmap items; pricing information is not provided.
