Goal
Add a visual hero (screenshot or short GIF) at the top of the README, right under the badges and nav row. This is the single highest-impact change to convert a GitHub visitor into a star.
Why
The README has screenshots further down (Keyboard / Model Manager / Settings) but nothing visual above the fold. Pulling a single highlight to the top significantly improves star conversion.
Acceptance criteria
Suggested content
3–5 seconds, looped:
- Open WhatsApp / Messages, focus in the text field
- Switch to Dictus from the keyboard switcher
- Tap mic, dictate a short sentence (FR or EN)
- Text appears in the message field
How to record
- Android screen recording (Quick Settings → Screen Record), or
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/hero.mp4
- Convert:
ffmpeg -i hero.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=720:-1" -loop 0 hero.gif
- Or
.webp: ffmpeg -i hero.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=720:-1" -loop 0 hero.webp
Out of scope
- Open Graph image (tracked separately)
