v1.0.0
Initial Release
This is the first official release of the Speech-to-Text CLI tool for Windows. This initial version provides
a simple and effective way to transcribe speech directly into your command-line interface, with a focus on
ease of use and a minimal footprint.
Key Features in This Release:
- Hands-Free CLI-Typing: Transcribe your speech directly into any active command-line window, including
Windows Terminal, PowerShell, and cmd.exe. This is particularly useful for interacting with CLI-based AI
tools like Google's Gemini CLI and Anthropic's Claude Code. - Global Hotkey Activation: Simply double-press the Left Alt key to start and stop recording from anywhere in
your system. - System Tray Integration: The application runs discreetly in the background and provides a system tray icon
to indicate its status. The icon changes to let you know when it's actively listening, and you can
right-click it to quit the application. - Lightweight and Simple: No complex setup or configuration is required. Just run the executable and start
talking.
Installation:
- Executable: Download the speech-to-text-cli.exe file from the dist folder and run it.
- From Source: Clone the repository, install the dependencies from requirements.txt, and run python main.pyw.
Known Issues:
- This is an initial release, and there may be some bugs. Please report any issues you encounter on the GitHub
issues page. - Runs well on my local pc
Future Plans:
- Configurable Hotkeys: The ability to change the hotkey combination to your preference.
- Enhanced Visual Indicators: More visual cues to make it even clearer when the application is recording.
This release was built together with the Gemini CLI.
