Aenea Indicator Applet for the Cinnamon Desktop

When using Aenea for dictation on linux it is sometimes frustrating to not know the state of the microphone.
This applet allows users to place a microphone icon in a panel that displays the current Dragon microphone state. The applet itself doesn't hook into Dragon. Instead its icon color set via dbus method calls. Typically Aenea will hook into natlink to get microphone state updates and then make the dbus method call to set icon color.

Installation

./install.sh

Usage

Valid colors are "idk" | "green" | "yellow" | "red"

dbus-send \
  --type=method_call \
  --print-reply \
  --dest=com.mhzizzi.AeneaIndicator.Interface \
  /com/mhzizzi/AeneaIndicator/Interface \
  com.mhzizzi.AeneaIndicator.Interface.SetAppletIcon \
  string:green

Aenea server plugin component

Drop the files from the plugins directory into Aenea's linux x11 server plugins directory. This plugin will wait for RPC calls from the Aenea client to change indicator color.

Aenea aware grammar file

Drop the _indicator.py grammar file into your MacroSystem folder to enable sending RPCs to the Aenea server. This works by monkey-patching natlink's natlinkmain.changeCallback to include RPC calls.
