Blah Speech-to-Text lets you have a bla(h)st inputing text from speech on #Linux, with keyboard shortcuts and whisper.cpp. Fire up your microphone and perform high-quality, multilingual speech recognition offline. Extended with local LLMs, it becomes a potent tool to converse with your Linux computer. No VRAM-consuming GUI, just a few configurable hotkeys.

#BlahST is probably the leanest Whisper-based speech-to-text input tool for Linux, sitting on top of whisper.cpp.
