jatinkrmalik/vocalinux
Free, open-source, 100% offline voice dictation for Linux. Speak and type anywhere via whisper.cpp, Whisper & VOSK engines, GPU-accelerated, works on X11 + Wayland!
Provides intelligent hardware detection and multi-engine flexibility: users can choose between whisper.cpp (default, universal Vulkan GPU support), OpenAI Whisper (PyTorch-based, NVIDIA-only), or VOSK (lightweight). Integrates with X11/Wayland input systems via IBus and evdev for keyboard event injection, system tray via AppIndicator, and XDG autostart for persistent startup. Architecture emphasizes reliability with SYN_DROPPED recovery, sample-rate device probing, and modifier alias matching across keyboard layouts.
