Luca guide

In this topic you will find instructions for using Luca.

macOS

Step 1

You need any audio driver for macOS. We recommend using the free BlackHole.

Download BlackHole

Step 2

Now you need to configure the BlackHole device. Open the Audio MIDI Setup utility.

  • Create Multi-Output Device.
  • Set BlackHole as the primary device.
  • Check the box "Use" on the devices to which you want to duplicate the audio output that will come from the BlackHole microphone.
  • Check the box "Drift Correction"

You should end up with something like this:

Step 3

Now you need to configure Luca.

  • Go to Luca Settings "Command + ,"
  • In the Speaker section, opposite the "Device Name" parameter, set your BlackHole device.

You should end up with something like this:

Step 4

The final step is to prepare the OpenAI API key.

Step 5

Now you need to paste the api key into the Luca settings.

  • Go to Luca Settings "Command + ,"
  • In the OpenAI section, paste the copied API token.

It should look like this:

Note:
You also need to top up your balance on the OpenAI API platform.

Well done! Now you can use the application.
