[!IMPORTANT] Standalone Linux port: This repository contains exclusively the Linux port of Blitztext – a standalone Python 3/PyQt6 implementation developed on KDE Plasma with Wayland and also verified natively on Ubuntu 26.04 GNOME with Wayland . For the original macOS version, please visit the official main repository. --- Purpose Blitztext Linux is a hotkey-driven voice assistant that turns speech into text and pastes it directly into whatever application has focus. Transcription runs locally via Whisper by default; an LLM step is optional and only used when you explicitly pick one of the AI workflows (rephrase, tone filter, emoji enrichment) or the Compose window. Everything is designed to stay on your machine unless you deliberately opt into a cloud provider (OpenAI, OpenRouter, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint) for LLM or Cloud TTS features. --- Features - Multilingual interface (EN/DE): Switch the app interface between German and English under Settings → General → \"Interface language\" (takes effect after restarting the app). - Compose window: Type or paste any text, select a workfl","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/TimInTech","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/TimInTech/blitztext-linux/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
