Get your favourite coding agent to make one. These things are incredibly simple. You really only need a few ingredients:

- `sherpa-onnx` bindings for your favourite language

- package for capturing your mic input

- package for hotkey capture

- package for clipboard management (or shell out to `xclip`)

- shell out to `xdotool key --clearmodifiers "ctrl+v"` to paste

Tell it to go research all the above and then assemble into whatever form you want. I had Claude write a Go daemon that loads parakeet and runs as a systemd user service listening for Alt-Space in about 20 minutes.
