I run Omakub, OpenCode, NeoVim – terminal for everything. Wanted voice input for prompting AI, but Wispr Flow and HyperWhisper don't support Linux. Local Whisper wasn't cutting it.
So I built whis. Speak, hit Enter, text lands in your clipboard. Uses OpenAI's Whisper API (~$0.006/min).
There's also a hotkey mode – `whis listen` runs in background, Ctrl+Shift+R from anywhere.
Works on X11 and Wayland. Single Rust binary. I use it daily for brain-dumping thoughts to paste into AI chats.
Desktop version with system tray exists too if terminal isn't your thing.
Thinking about adding workflow modes next – speak messy thoughts, get structured markdown back. Would that be useful?
