From cb90e849eeebf804f0ba144fd2e8e1f26c49df03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jatin K Malik Date: Sat, 6 Jun 2026 18:22:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add remote API test server for developers (#455) Add a mock test server to help developers test the remote API feature without needing a real server. The server supports both whisper.cpp (/inference) and OpenAI-compatible (/v1/audio/transcriptions) formats. - Move test_remote_server.py to scripts/ directory - Make script executable - Add documentation to CONTRIBUTING.md with usage examples - Include instructions for testing both API formats Usage: python scripts/test_remote_server.py [--port PORT] [--delay SECONDS] --- CONTRIBUTING.md | 30 +++++ scripts/test_remote_server.py | 213 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 243 insertions(+) create mode 100755 scripts/test_remote_server.py diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index e5a5960..26b66e8 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -220,6 +220,36 @@ def test_command_processor_new_line(mocker): assert result.action == "new_line" ``` +### Testing Remote API + +Vocalinux supports offloading speech recognition to a remote server.
