# The &kmyapplication; Handbook

## Introduction

&kappname; is a simple graphical front-end to Simond. It creates and displays a tray-icon from which you can start and stop the Simond server. Moreover it provides a configuration dialog in which it embeds the Simond configuration.

KSimond can be configured to be started on KDE start.

Please report any problems or feature requests to our bug tracker.

## Using &kappname;

Due to its minimalistic nature KSimond itself does not even have an application window. However, the tray icon has a context menu from where you can start and stop Simond and also open the configuration. screenshot of &kappname; KSimond "screenshot"

KSimond has the ability to launch automatically when KDE starts and to handle unexpected Simond crashes. screenshot of the &kappname;-configuration KSimond configuration

Please note that the option to start KSimond at login will work on both Microsoft Windows and when you are using KDE on Linux. Support for other desktop environments like Gnome, XFCE, etc. might require manually placing KSimond in the session autostart (please refer to the respective manuals of your desktop environment).

Alongside the KSimond configuration the Simond configuration modules are listed (also available through systemsettings). See the Simond manual for details. screenshot of the Simond user configuration Simond user configuration screenshot of the Simond network configuration Simond network configuration screenshot of the speech model configuration Simond speech model configuration
