Chatterlayer v0.0.5

Live, colour-coded Discord voice captions for OBS. Free and fully
offline — speech recognition runs on your own machine. No API keys,
no accounts, no per-minute billing.

Download

Platform File
Windows (installer) Chatterlayer-*-Setup.exe
Windows (portable) Chatterlayer-*-portable.exe
macOS Chatterlayer-*.dmg
Linux Chatterlayer-*.AppImage or .deb

First run

Chatterlayer asks which speech model to download — models aren't
bundled because they range from 40 MB to 2.3 GB and you only need
one. Medium (~128 MB) is recommended and right for almost
everyone. Models are stored in your user data folder and survive
updates.

You'll also need a Discord bot token — about two minutes to set up,
no privileged intents required. See the README.

These builds are unsigned

Code signing certificates cost money, so the binaries aren't signed.
What that means per platform:

  • Windows — SmartScreen warns on first launch. Choose
    More infoRun anyway.
  • macOS — Gatekeeper will refuse to open it, often reporting the
    app as "damaged". It isn't. Either right-click the app →
    OpenOpen, or clear the quarantine flag:
    xattr -cr /Applications/Chatterlayer.app
    
  • Linux — mark the AppImage executable first:
    chmod +x Chatterlayer-*.AppImage
    

If you'd rather not run unsigned binaries, build from source — it's
four commands, see the README.
