Watch the CLI¶
A real recording of the YazSes command line — -h, about, quickstart, features, status — playing in your browser. It is about 32 KB of text, the output is selectable, and you can copy any command straight out of it.
Prefer your own terminal? The cast is a plain file in the repository:
What this does and does not show¶
It is the terminal half of YazSes, and only that. Dictation itself cannot appear in a terminal recording — the interesting part is a key held down, a voice, and words arriving in another application, none of which a cast can capture. For that, see the demo reel.
doctor is deliberately absent. Its output contains the recording machine's real config and model-cache paths, and baking one machine's filesystem into a committed recording is not a trade worth making for a demo.
How it is generated¶
The cast is not hand-typed and not hand-edited:
Every byte of output comes from running the installed CLI for real. The script points stdout at a wrapper that reports isatty() == True, because both Click and Rich check that and fall back to plain text otherwise — so without it the recording would lose exactly the colour and the box-drawing panels that make --help and features worth showing. Timing is synthetic: a short "typed" prompt, the output, a pause.
Re-run it after any change to the CLI surface, the same as the man page and the generated config reference.
The player is served from this site¶
assets/asciinema/ holds asciinema-player 3.17.0 (Apache-2.0, licence alongside it). It is not loaded from a CDN, and neither is anything else on this site: a privacy tool whose documentation reports every reader's IP address to a third party would be making a liar of itself.
