Is there anything this nice available for Linux desktop use?

So kudos to the devs for making such a awesome app. It's amazing that the speech-to-text can happen on low power/low resource devices.

I'm wondering if there is something similarly light weight and effective for my Linux PC?

I was just wondering this and had a look and it looks like they use open ai's whisper.

I agree though, it would be sick if there was a fork of this available for Linux. If I had the skills, I'd try to do it.

Actually, I did build something. I made it for myself, but since you want it, I'll clean it up a bit and put it into my repo. I'll post here again when it's done. Mark
