Full title: vocalinux : Free, open-source, 100% offline voice dictation for Linux. Is there anything better? I tried the “tiny” model—it's not very good. Also ı will try large models some good. GitHub - VocaHQ/vocalinux: Free, open-source, 100% offline voice dictation for Linux. Speak and type anywhere via whisper.cpp, Whisper & VOSK engines, GPU-accelerated, works on X11 + Wayland!
If you're just talking for voice to text, I've used this one for a while. Works better than the one built into my phone, and I don't have a ton of complaints.
The tiny model is rough in pretty much everything that uses Whisper, it's just too small. Small or medium is where it starts getting usable, and large-v3 is the good one but it wants a graphics card to be quick.
FYI, I make one of these myself, called TalkType. What fixed the accuracy problem for me was NVIDIA's Parakeet model. It's about as accurate as large-v3 and still fast on a regular processor with no graphics card, for English plus 24 European languages. TalkType has it as a choice, and Handy has it too. Hold-to-talk works on Wayland as well.

I don't think I've ever used a project like this where the tiny model is good.
