TuxTalk

TuxTalk (formerly TalkType) is free voice dictation for Linux. Hold F8 and talk, let go, and your words

are typed wherever your cursor is, in any app. Or tap F9 to start and tap again to stop.

It works on Wayland and X11, on GNOME, KDE, Sway, Hyprland and more.

Everything runs on your own computer. Nothing you say is sent anywhere, and after the

first download it works with no internet at all.
