released this
2026-06-03 22:44:28 +02:00 | 151 commits to main since this releaseThe upstream app is macOS-only (Swift/SwiftUI, CoreML/WhisperKit) and can't
run on Linux or in a container. This adds a native host tool under linux/ that
reproduces the workflow: focus any text field, press a hotkey, speak, and the
optionally-rewritten text is typed into that field.- Engine: pynput global hotkeys → mic record → local faster-whisper →
optional OpenAI-compatible rewrite → xdotool typing into the focused window - Frontends: system tray (AppIndicator, default), tkinter control panel,
and headless modes - Config-driven workflows in ~/.config/blitztext/config.toml with per-workflow
prompt/model/temperature overrides - Packaging: install.sh, requirements.txt, systemd user unit
- Targets X11; local transcription runs CPU int8 on this arm64 host
See linux/CHANGELOG.md and linux/README.md for details.
