Turn CAPSLOCK key into Dictation Key
This tool transforms your CapsLock key into a dictation button, allowing you to speak naturally and have your words instantly typed out wherever your cursor is. Simply hold down CapsLock to record your voice, release it for accurate transcription using advanced AI, and watch the text appear in any application. It's designed for anyone who types frequently on Linux and wants to integrate voice input seamlessly into their daily work.
No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you frequently type on a Linux machine and want a simple, on-demand way to dictate text without moving your hands from the keyboard.
Not ideal if you need a sophisticated voice command system for navigating your computer or are not using a Linux operating system.
