Show HN: Vocalinux – 100% offline voice typing for Linux
I built this because I wanted voice dictation without sending my voice
data to cloud services.
Vocalinux is a privacy-focused, open-source dictation tool that runs
entirely on your Linux machine:
- Local speech recognition (whisper.cpp, VOSK, or OpenAI Whisper)
- Works offline, no network required
- Universal compatibility (X11/Wayland, any app)
- Voice commands: "period", "delete that", "new line"
Installation: one-line curl command with auto-detection for GPU/CPU
