Show HN: I built a local STT tool to brain-dump into Claude Code
github.comClaude Code is great with detailed context, but I got tired of typing long prompts in the terminal all the time. I wanted local speech-to-text (STT) tool that actually worked in the terminal, so I built `hns`. It pipes your speech directly to your clipboard as text and uses faster-whisper for transcription.
```
$ hns # start recording
<talk>
<Enter> # clipboard now holds the text
```
Now I can ramble for 2 minutes about a refactor and paste the whole brain-dump into Claude Code.
Also handy for emails, Slack messages, or feeding messy thoughts to any LLM. Nothing leaves your machine, works offline after first model download, MIT licensed.
Install: `uv tool install hns` or `pipx install hns`
