| I built Hyprvoice, a small tool that lets you type with your voice on Wayland — no X11, no kludgy bridges. Press a key, talk, and your words appear wherever your cursor is. It’s written in Go, uses PipeWire for audio, and talks directly to the compositor. The workflow is simple: press key → start recording press again → stop and inject text Notifications show recording/transcribing states, and it works with multiple backends — currently OpenAI Whisper, with whisper.cpp (local/offline) in progress. Everything runs through a lightweight daemon with IPC over a unix socket. Text injection uses wl-clipboard + wtype with clipboard restore fallback. Install (Arch/AUR): yay -S hyprvoice-bin
systemctl --user enable --now hyprvoice.service Then add something like this to Hyprland: bind = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle Repo: https://github.com/leonardotrapani/hyprvoice It’s beta but fully usable. I’d love feedback, especially from people running Wayland full-time or maintaining compositors. |
