hyprwhspr is a native Linux system-wide speech-to-text dictation application supporting local models (Whisper, Parakeet, Cohere) with optional cloud APIs. It runs on Wayland and X11, auto-pasting transcribed text into any active window with hotkey-driven recording modes.
Use cases
- dictate text system-wide on linux
- convert speech to text offline privately
- voice type into any application on wayland
- transcribe voice notes with whisper locally
- translate spoken foreign language to english text
- push-to-talk dictation while coding
- run speech recognition on cpu without gpu
When to choose
- you want private, offline dictation on Linux with local models
- you use Hyprland, Sway, KDE, or GNOME on Wayland or X11
- you want hotkey-driven paste-anywhere dictation with visual feedback
- you have an NVIDIA GPU for fast local inference or need efficient CPU fallback
When to avoid
- you need speech-to-text on macOS or Windows
- you want a GUI transcription tool for audio files rather than live dictation
- you need a library or API to embed speech recognition in your own software
