#speech #recognition #stt #voice

WhisperTux

Simple #voice #dictation application for #Linux. Uses whisper.cpp for offline speech-to-text transcription. No fancy GPUs are required although whisper.cpp is capable of using them if available. Once your speech is transcribed, it is sent to a ydotool daemon that will write the text into the focused application.

Features

Local speech-to-text processing via whisper.cpp (no cloud dependencies)
No expensive hardware required (works well on a plain x86 laptop with AVX instructions)
Global keyboard shortcuts for system-wide operation
Automatic text injection into focused applications
Configurable whisper models and shortcuts

Dicio assistant

Dicio is a free and open source #voice #assistant running on #Android. It supports many different skills and input/output methods, and it provides both speech and graphical feedback to a question. It interprets user input and (when possible) generates user output entirely on-device, providing privacy by design. It has multilanguage support, and is currently available in these languages: Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian. Open to contributions :-D

Skills
Currently Dicio answers questions about:
search: looks up information on DuckDuckGo (and in the future more engines) - Search for Dicio
weather: collects weather information from OpenWeatherMap - What's the weather like?
lyrics: shows Genius lyrics for songs - What's the song that goes we will we will rock you?

Speech to text
Dicio uses Vosk as its speech to text (#STT) engine. In order to be able to run on every phone small models are employed, weighing ~50MB. The download from here starts automatically whenever needed, so the app language can be changed seamlessly.
