whisper-typer

A small script that types what you say using whisper while holding a hotkey

I have only tested this on Linux, but it should work on Windows and Mac as well

Usage

Install requirements:

Prerequisites for macOS users to use PyAudio

brew install portaudio

Install python requirements:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the script:

python3 main.py

Command line options

python3 main.py --help

usage: main.py [-h] [--model_name {tiny.en,tiny,base.en,base,small.en,small,medium.en,medium,large-v1,large-v2,large}] [--mic_device MIC_DEVICE] [--inference_device INFERENCE_DEVICE] [--activation_key ACTIVATION_KEY] [--keep_leading_whitespace] [--zoomer_mode]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --model_name {tiny.en,tiny,base.en,base,small.en,small,medium.en,medium,large-v1,large-v2,large-v3,large}
                        the name of the whisper model to use
  --mic_device MIC_DEVICE
                        the name of the pyaudio input device to use
  --inference_device INFERENCE_DEVICE
                        the device to run the inference on. can be cpu, cuda, or cuda:<device number> will automatically select the best device if not specified
  --activation_key ACTIVATION_KEY
                        the key to use for push to talk. can be like <ctrl_r> or <alt_l> or <f1> or e or 1 or 2 or 3 etc
  --keep_leading_whitespace
                        keep the leading space that whisper outputs
  --zoomer_mode         makes everything lowercase and removes all trailing periods

Defaults

model_name: "base.en"
mic_device: "default"
inference_device: None
activation_key: "<ctrl_r>"
keep_leading_whitespace: False
zoomer_mode: False
