Show HN: Speak to AI – offline speech-to-text for Linux (alternative to Dragon)

4 points

8 months ago

I couldn’t find a privacy-friendly and reliable voice typing app for my daily Linux use, so I built one.

This project uses Whisper.cpp for offline speech recognition and is written in Go. It works both on X11 and Wayland and aims to be a drop-in solution for dictation and voice commands on Linux desktops.

The goal is to provide a fast, local, and privacy-respecting alternative to Dragon or cloud-based STT tools.

I’d appreciate feedback, testing on different distros/desktops, and any contributions or ideas for improvement.
