Poet Assistant (Desktop version)

Installing

Download the application binary from the releases page

• Linux:
  • For text-to-speech features to be available, install speech-dispatcher with your favorite package manager
• Windows:
  • For non power users, the installer version is recommended. If you download the portable version instead, extract the contents first, before running the PoetAssistant.exe file
  • Starting with Windows 11, you'll see a warning about an unknown publisher. To be able to run the app, you'll have to click "More info" and then allow the app. My understanding is that I'd have to pay several hundred dollars every year to get rid of this warning (by purchasing a certificate to sign the app). I'm not investing in this at this point.

Compatibility

Poet Assistant has been tested on the following systems:

• Linux: Ubuntu 20.04, Fedora 35
