Extended with local LLMs, it becomes a potent tool to converse with your Linux computer. No VRAM-consuming GUI, just a few configurable hotkeys. BlahST is probably the leanest Whisper-based speech-to-text input tool for Linux, sitting on top of whisper.cpp. - Fast speech recognition with wsi via local whisper.cpp, or a whisper.cpp server for even faster network transcription. - Can select speech input language and translate to English with the dedicated wsiml script - Option to use a downloaded portable whisperfile, (with a hotkey set for wsi -w ) - The blooper utility does continuous \"hands-free\" speech input or dictation with automatic pasting loop, using xdotool or ydotool. Exits on longer silence and can be reactivated with a hotkey. - Interaction with local LLMs via llama.cpp or a llamafile, producing textual answers or translations that are both spoken back and available in the clipboard. This functionality is in the wsiAI and blahstbot scripts. - EXPERIMENTAL: Added AI proofreader, triggered on any selected (editable) text by speech: \"Computer, proofread ... or Computer be like Grammarly..\". After a short while, the selected text should be automatically replaced by the LLM. - NEW: Low-latency speech chat with","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/QuantiusBenignus","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/QuantiusBenignus/BlahST/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
