Maintenance release of WhispSkrid, the push-to-talk command-line dictation tool for Linux backed by offline Whisper speech recognition (faster-whisper).

Changes

  • Native packages are documented and validated for Debian 12 and 13, Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Fedora 42, openSUSE Leap 15.6 and Arch Linux. Each package is installed, checked with whispskrid --diagnose and removed cleanly in a container of every version listed.
  • The README, the manual pages and the user manual (en/fr/de/es) cover installation on all four families, with the versions covered.
  • whispskrid --version prints the version alone on every distribution.
  • The Fedora and openSUSE packages own their data directory, so removing them leaves nothing behind.
  • Interface messages no longer carry internal references; the English, German and Spanish catalogues follow.
  • "Resident session" is now "persistent session" in the manual pages, the configuration reference, the interface and the package description.
  • The download menu of the site links every package.

See whispskrid.davalan.fr for installation instructions, the user manual (en/fr/de/es), and the configuration reference.

Assets: Debian/Ubuntu package (.deb), Fedora package (.rpm), openSUSE Leap 15.6 package (.rpm), Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst), source tarball, user manual PDF (4 languages), SHA256SUMS.

@RonanDavalan RonanDavalan released this 18 Sep 00:05

First stable release of WhispSkrid, a push-to-talk command-line dictation tool for Linux backed by offline Whisper speech recognition (faster-whisper).

Hold a key, speak, release — the transcribed text is injected into whichever window has keyboard focus. No wake phrase, no listening state, no automatic cut on silence. Everything runs offline.

See whispskrid.davalan.fr for installation instructions, the user manual (en/fr/de/es), and configuration reference.

Assets: Debian package (.deb), Fedora package (.rpm), openSUSE Leap 15.6 package (.rpm), Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst), source tarball, user manual PDF (4 languages), SHA256SUMS.

Package rebuilt after initial publication to include two French manpage fixes and a packaging fix for non-editable installs (config.yaml now bundled as a fallback path).
