First I wanted to thank you for the amazing feedback you gave me on the initial version. This is my first time doing a GNOME Extension and I learned a ton from your feedback. I believe I incorporated all the changes you suggest but had to rework the entire structure of the extension to use the d-bus architecture as you had suggested. I learned a lot and the extension is much faster and more reliable in my testings. I am not entirely sure about my approach to install the d-bus service however. I provided a "install.sh" script in the "speech2text-service" that would run at the first run and install the necessary system packages and python environment for the open-ai whisper to function. Please let me know if this is the correct approach. Lastly I added support for Wayland but given the security restrictions for Wayland it does not auto-type the transcribed audio. Instead it provides an interface for copy/pasting. On X11 it can use xdotool to auto insert transcribed audio at the cursor location. The repo for the extension with a lot more dev tools (including a beefy makefile for testing) is here: https://github.com/kavehtehrani/gnome-speech2text Really appreciate you guiding me through this. Thanks, Kaveh

Hey Kaveh! 1. Please remove `type` from `metadata.json`. 2. Remove line 460-462 `extension.js`. Not needed. 3. Move line 27 `extension.js` to enable and null it out in disable: [EGO Review Guidelines: Destroy](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#destroy-all-objects) 4. Remove unnecessary try and catch blocks. For example, for add and removing key bindings. 5. Remove unnecessary import (line 1 `lib/uiUtils.js`). 5. D-Bus interface name should start with `org.gnome.Shell.Extensions` if it's going to be shipped via extension (line 7 `lib/dbusManager.js`), but `speech2text-service` should be a dependency and not shipped with the extension: [EGO Review Guidelines: Scripts](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#scripts-and-binaries) Just mention in the description that this extension needs that as a dependency and use the d-bus for interacting with that. 7. Timeout should be removed on destroy: - line 409, 457, 575 `lib/recordingDialog.js` - line 446 `lib/settingsDialog.js` - line 550 `lib/setupDialog.js` - line 56 `lib/shortcutCapture.js` [EGO Review Guidelines: Timeout](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#remove-main-loop-sources) If you need any help with your extension you can ask us on: - [GNOME Extensions Matrix Channel](https://matrix.to/#/#extensions:gnome.org) - IRC Bridge: irc://irc.gimpnet.org/shell-extensions
