+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Ubuntu 22.04 or newer (may work on other Linux distributions)
+- Python 3.6 or newer
+- X11 or Wayland desktop environment
+
+### Quick Install
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/ubuntu-voice-typing/ubuntu-voice-typing.git
+cd ubuntu-voice-typing
+
+# Run the installer script
+./install.sh
+```
+
+The installer will:
+1. Install system dependencies
+2. Set up Python dependencies
+3. Configure the application
+4. Create a desktop entry
+
+For detailed installation instructions, see [docs/INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting the Application
+
+After installation, you can start Ubuntu Voice Typing in several ways:
+
+```bash
+# From the terminal
+ubuntu-voice-typing
+
+# With debugging enabled
+ubuntu-voice-typing --debug
+
+# With a specific speech recognition engine
+ubuntu-voice-typing --engine whisper
+
+# With a specific model size
+ubuntu-voice-typing --model medium
+```
+
+### Using Voice Commands
+
+Ubuntu Voice Typing supports various voice commands for text formatting:
+
+| Command | Action |
+|---------|--------|
+| "new line" | Inserts a line break |
+| "period" | Types a period (.) |
+| "comma" | Types a comma (,) |
+| "question mark" | Types a question mark (?) |
+| "delete that" | Deletes the last sentence |
+| "capitalize" | Capitalizes the next word |
+
+For a complete list of commands, see [docs/USER_GUIDE.md](docs/USER_GUIDE.md).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is stored in `~/.config/ubuntu-voice-typing/config.json` and includes:
+
+```json
+{
+    "recognition": {
+        "engine": "vosk",
+        "model_size": "small",
+        "auto_punctuate": true,
+        "vad_sensitivity": 3,
+        "timeout": 2.0
+    },
+    "shortcuts": {
+        "toggle_recognition": "alt+shift+v"
+    },
+    "ui": {
+        "start_minimized": false,
+        "show_notifications": true
+    },
+    "advanced": {
+        "debug_logging": false,
+        "wayland_mode": false
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Setting Up Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/ubuntu-voice-typing/ubuntu-voice-typing.git
+cd ubuntu-voice-typing
+
+# Install development dependencies
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **Speech Recognition Manager** (`src/speech_recognition/recognition_manager.py`)
+   - Manages speech recognition engines (VOSK, Whisper)
+   - Handles audio recording and voice activity detection
+   - Processes recognition results
+
+2. **Command Processor** (`src/speech_recognition/command_processor.py`)
+   - Interprets voice commands in recognition results
+   - Converts commands to text or actions
+
+3. **Text Injector** (`src/text_injection/text_injector.py`)
+   - Injects text into active applications
+   - Supports both X11 and Wayland environments
+
+4. **Tray Indicator** (`src/ui/tray_indicator.py`)
+   - Provides system tray interface
+   - Shows recognition status
+   - Offers menu for control
+
+5. **Keyboard Shortcut Manager** (`src/ui/keyboard_shortcuts.py`)
+   - Manages global keyboard shortcuts
+   - Enables activation from any application
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run with coverage report
+pytest --cov=src
+```
+
+## Roadmap
+
+Future development plans include:
+
+1. Custom icon design
+2. Graphical settings dialog
+3. Advanced voice commands for specific applications
+4. Multi-language support
+5. Better integration with popular applications
+6. Improved model management
