pi-transcribe

Local speech-to-text dictation for Pi.

Install directly from GitHub:

pi install ssh://git@github.com/earendil-works/pi-transcribe

After the first npm release, it can also be installed with:

pi install npm:@earendil-works/pi-transcribe

The extension registers:

• a configurable terminal shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Z by default) to start and stop recording;
• /transcribe for model, transcription-language, microphone, and shortcut settings.

To develop or run it from a checkout:

npm install --ignore-scripts
pi -e /absolute/path/to/pi-transcribe

Press the shortcut while Pi has focus, speak, then press it again. A live level meter appears above the editor while recording. Esc cancels. Audio is transcribed locally and inserted at the editor cursor. The shortcut is a Pi terminal binding, not a global OS hotkey.
