Show HN: Vibevoice – super fast speech-to-text in any app on your system
github.comHello hackernews crew :)
IInspired by Andrej Karpathy's recent post about vibe coding (https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383) I built that functionality as a Python app.
He mentioned he was using SuperWhisper, but that was only available for Mac and I am mainly using Ubuntu, so I hacked around to get a similar experience.
It's a python script which runs faster-whisper locally on your GPU (or CPU, but then it's slower).
Anywhere on your system, you can press the trigger button (defaults to the right Ctrl button), then speak some text and it will be immediately typed. So it works in any application - your IDE, your browser, your terminal, you name it.
Check it out and let me know what you think: https://github.com/mpaepper/vibevoice
I also added some more details and a quick video of how it works in this blog post: https://www.paepper.com/blog/posts/vibe-coding-with-vibevoic... Interesting, will give it a try!
