+## Heading 2 This is a lightweight Python cloud script for voice typing and speech-to-text (STT) automation in Brave and ChatGPT, utilizing xdtool. 
+
+## Heading 2 Voice Typing Script Overview
+
+While this script is primarily designed for desktop environments, similar functionality can be achieved on mobile devices (iOS and Android) using built-in voice dictation features or custom mobile app development
+
+## Heading 3 Example
+
+
+### Install Necessary Dependencies
+Make sure you have these installed via the terminal:
+
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip xdotool portaudio19-dev python3-pyaudio
+pip3 install SpeechRecognition
+```
+
+
+Python Script
+Create a file named voice_type.py and add the following code:
+
+```
+Python
+import speech_recognition as sr
+import subprocess
+
+r = sr.Recognizer()
+mic = sr.Microphone(device_index=5)  # Adjust this if needed
+
+print("Starting voice typing. Press Ctrl+C to stop.\n")
+
+while True:
+    try:
+        with mic as source:
+            print("Please speak now...")
+            r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=1)
+            audio_data = r.listen(source)
+
+        recognized_text = r.recognize_google(audio_data)
+        print("You said:", recognized_text)
+
+        subprocess.run(["xdotool", "type", recognized_text])
+        subprocess.run(["xdotool", "key", "space"])
+
+    except sr.UnknownValueError:
+        print("Didn't catch that. Try again.")
+    except sr.RequestError as e:
+        print("API unreachable or error:", e)
+    except KeyboardInterrupt:
+        print("\nExiting...")
+        break```
+
+
+Running the Script
+
+Save the file as voice_type.py. Open the terminal and run the script:
+
+```bash
+#python3 voice_type.py
+
+Testing
+
+1. Open Brave or any text editor, and run the script.
+2. Focus on the text field and speak into your microphone. The words should be typed automatically.
+
+**Common Troubleshooting*
+**
+- If it's not working, try adjusting the device index in the script to match your active microphone (check with arecord -l).
+- If you encounter errors with the microphone, ensure that PulseAudio is running correctly (pulseaudio --start).
+Test the microphone in the terminal to ensure it's working using:
+
+```
+bash
+arecord -D plughw:1,0 -f cd test-mic.wav```
