I've recently started exploring Talon, and agree with @2shea that the circular reference between https://talonvoice.com/ and https://talon.wiki is confusing.

Getting Started page should be more accessible to folks with non-programming background #170

I understand why writers of this wiki wanted to refer back to the official site, but I think it just makes things more difficult for new users.

As it would seem that information on the official site is infrequently updated, I don't think there's much practical issue in incorporating the information there into this wiki.


Getting Started Page

Specifically, I have:

Removed "You can also install and run Talon by following the official installation instructions. This info supplements that page."

Added a first step of checking system requirements.

Added platform specific download links so that https://talonvoice.com does not need to be referenced.

Included a screenshot of selecting the Conformer D recognition engine.

Created a new step "6: Next steps", and moved various points previously under "Test your Talon Setup" to here.


Hardware Page

Change title to "Hardware & OS"

Added a new section for "Operating System". This contains the relevant info from https://talonvoice.com. Again to avoid a circular reference between it and this wiki.
