speech2text

Desktop speech-to-text powered by Groq's Whisper v3 API.
Record your voice, get the transcription pasted directly into whatever you're typing.

Install

winget install ozas.speech2text

Or download the latest installer from the releases page.

How it works

1. Set your Groq API key in settings
2. Hold your keybind (default Ctrl+Shift) or click the mic button
3. Speak
4. Release the keys (or click again) — transcription gets pasted into the active text field

A Dynamic Island-style overlay appears at the top of your screen showing recording/transcribing/done status.
