hyprwhspr

What it does

Hold a key, speak, and the text lands in whatever application has focus. Defaults to in-memory local models — quick even without a GPU, and nothing leaves the machine — with optional wiring to Cohere, Gemini, ElevenLabs or a REST endpoint when you want their accuracy instead, and a one-line config to translate as you dictate. Linux only, packaged for Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE. MIT.
