Overview

An easy-to-install Swift package for connecting to Omi devices. Get started in seconds with local Whisper-based transcription - no cloud API required.

Native iOS/macOS support Whisper runs on-device Connect in minutes

Quick Start

Get transcription working in 2 minutes:

Replace your `ViewController.swift` with:

```swift
import UIKit
import omi_lib

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.lookForDevice()
    }

    func lookForDevice() {
        OmiManager.startScan { device, error in
            print("starting scan")
            if let device = device {
                print("got device ", device)
                self.connectToOmiDevice(device: device)
                OmiManager.endScan()
            }
        }
    }

    func connectToOmiDevice(device: Device) {
        OmiManager.connectToDevice(device: device)
        self.listenToLiveTranscript(device: device)
        self.reconnectIfDisconnects()
    }

    func reconnectIfDisconnects() {
        OmiManager.connectionUpdated { connected in
            if connected == false {
                self.lookForDevice()
            }
        }
    }

    func listenToLiveTranscript(device: Device) {
        OmiManager.getLiveTranscription(device: device) { transcription in
            print("transcription:", transcription ?? "no transcription")
        }
    }
}
```

1. Select your development team 2. Connect your iPhone via cable (simulators don't support Bluetooth) 3. Run the project 1. Turn on your Omi device 2. The app should connect automatically 3. Speak - you'll see transcription in the Xcode console

<Note>
There's no UI in this example - transcription appears in the Xcode logs.
