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.

Speech Note let you take, read and translate notes in multiple languages. It uses Speech to Text, Text to Speech and Machine Translation to do so. Text and voice processing take place entirely offline, locally on your computer, without using a network connection. Your privacy is always respected. No data is sent to the Internet.
