Install Coe

1. Install dependencies

Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y fcitx5 pipewire-bin wl-clipboard ydotool

These packages give Coe audio capture, text insertion, and the Fcitx path for Linux desktop integration.

2. Install Coe

Use the official release installer.

curl -fsSL -o /tmp/install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quailyquaily/coe/refs/heads/master/scripts/install.sh
bash /tmp/install.sh

The installer auto-selects the integration path. If fcitx5 is present, it prefers the Fcitx path. Otherwise it falls back to the GNOME desktop path.

If you need to force a path:

bash /tmp/install.sh --fcitx
bash /tmp/install.sh --gnome

If GNOME desktop integration is selected, sign out and back in once.

3. Configure providers

Put provider keys in either:

• ~/.config/coe/env
• ~/.config/coe/config.yaml

To initialize the YAML config:

coe config init

Coe can work with your own ASR and your own LM / LLM, so you can keep the speech and cleanup stack under your control.

4. First dictation

Open any text field, press the default hotkey Shift + Super + D, speak, then press it again to stop.
