themanyone/voice_typing
State-of-the-art offline (or networked) voice typing everywhere + text terminals (Linux or WFL session on Windows.) with a simple bash script. Usable with X. Does not require X.
This tool enables hands-free text input by converting spoken words into typed text in any active window, without needing a graphical interface. You speak into your microphone, and the system types out your words, allowing you to control your computer or write documents using only your voice. It's ideal for anyone who needs to dictate text or control their computer without using a keyboard, such as writers, accessibility users, or those working in environments where hands-free operation is beneficial.
154 stars.
Use this if you need an offline, privacy-focused way to type text using your voice into any application on Linux or Windows, especially if you prefer a low-resource solution.
Not ideal if you need continuous, real-time dictation with advanced features like conversational chatbots or AI image generation, as this tool is designed for occasional, resource-efficient use.
