oddlama/whisper-overlay
A wayland overlay providing speech-to-text functionality for any application via a global push-to-talk hotkey
This tool provides real-time speech-to-text for any application on Wayland, turning your spoken words into typed text. You simply hold a hotkey, speak, and your words appear on-screen and are then typed into the active window. It's ideal for anyone who needs to quickly get their thoughts or dictation into documents, chat, or other input fields without manually typing.

Use this if you need to dictate text directly into any application on your Linux system running a Wayland compositor, saving time compared to typing.
Not ideal if you frequently use a desktop environment other than Wayland, or if you don't have a CUDA-enabled GPU for faster and more accurate transcriptions.
