Is there an easy to install offline voice input system using Whisper yet?

Like, I push a button or key combo and talk at my computer and it types what I talk.

If not, why?

I do not mind writing some code to get this working but my time is very limited right now.

flathub.org/apps/net.mkiol.SpeechNote

dsnote/speechnote (it’s the same thing) seems to be the best gui option. Check out the doc github.com/mkiol/dsnote?tab=readme-ov-file#insert…

my bad this uses the api, but I guess it can be easily modified to use a local whisper.cpp

I’ve been following this project

github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/…/whispering

They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they’re developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day

Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:

github.com/braden-w/whispering
