- The bar speaks the language being dictated ("Ouvindo…", "Escuchando…", …).
- Green now means real audio is arriving, not just that pw-record connected:
a Bluetooth microphone sends silence while it switches profile, which is
where the first words were being lost.
- Advanced → "Keep the microphone open": the stream is parked between
recordings and a recording starts instantly with ~0.6 s of pre-roll.
- Settings → "Bar animation": bars, wave, pulse or dots.
- pw-record is shut down off the event loop so a cancel can never stall.
A bar widget plus a stdlib-only Python daemon. Press a language's key to
record, press it again to stop: the text is pasted at the cursor (or handed
to the default coding agent with a second key). While recording the bar
shows a waveform (yellow while the microphone opens, green while listening)
and the words as they are recognised; the recording is transcribed at every
pause, so stopping only transcribes the last phrase. Every recording and its
text are kept in a searchable history with playback, copy, paste and delete.
Uses Omarchy's own dictation engine (voxtype, local Whisper) by default and
downloads any model a language needs by itself; whisper.cpp or a custom
command can be picked instead. Key bindings are applied at runtime through
Hyprland's Lua API and never touch a key something else already uses.
