Voice-to-text with push-to-talk for Wayland compositors
Voxtype helps Linux users convert their spoken words into text instantly. You hold a hotkey, speak, and the transcribed text appears wherever your cursor is, perfect for writing emails, documents, or chat messages. This tool is for anyone who types a lot on Linux and wants to use their voice to speed up their workflow.
510 stars. Actively maintained with 10 commits in the last 30 days.
Use this if you need a quick, private, and efficient way to dictate text on your Linux desktop without relying on cloud services.
Not ideal if you primarily use macOS or Windows, or if your main need is to transcribe audio files rather than real-time dictation.
