# talon-contractions: Automatically expand English contractions

## Purpose

TalonScript file, *contractions.talon*, contains the expansions of common contractions in English.

These contractions are automatically expanded in the [Talon Voice](https://talonvoice.com/docs/index.html) when used in the dictation mode. 

Voice In is an open-source project wrapped in Python that is highly customizable via TalonScript or Python scripts.

I do not use contractions in my writing, although I do use them frequently in my speech.

I grew tired of correcting contractions manually. 

This file eliminates that task.

## Disclaimer

This is a programming tool, not an educational tool.

It provides no explanations and no context.

## Installation

Store *contractions.talon* inside `~/.talon/users//`.

The subfolder  can have any name and is optional.

Talon Voice will automatically detect this file and all others inside `~/.talon/users/` without restarting Talon Voice.

You can add more contractions by using a text editor.

The *contractions.talon* file is a plain text file written in TalonScript, a Python subset.

## Contributing new contractions
