We use WhisperAI plugin in unity to transcribe user speech into text. By excluding the repetitive words (with no meanings like pronouns, a, the...), the rest keywords are turned into 3D text objects in Unity. A digital spoon, linked to a real ladle tracked by Motive software and an optic marker, mirrors its movements in Unity.
