Live stream text output

[tripletopper]

How does one make a window of a continuous stream of text, so that it pushes off the old text as the new text scrolls in.

If I know how to do that then I could use my Apple speech recognition to hear me talk. And then the Apple would print what I say.

I would like to set it for always on until I turn it off.

I know pressing the control key twice starts capturing your text but I can't seem to get it in a infinite situation with bottom so many lines keep printing out, and the rest gets scrolled off the screen.

Setup a text source and add a scroll filter to it. But -- the problem is how to keep the text source filling with new text. And the text source has practical limits to the amount of text you can put in it. Also, to get a good horz. scroll, you need a really big long singular line of text and that has its limits. I've been working on a lua script to feed the text into the source but so far, I can only do this at time intervals (eg: around 5-7 minutes each) but at each interval, the text jumps into the new text regardless of where the prior text was positioned. Works decently for a news like chyron but for long book reading - well, it would be frustrating. I'm looking deeper into this but not sure yet where I will get.
