Push-to-Talk for Pulseaudio

In plain words

Push-to-Talk for Pulseaudio is a tool for Linux users who want to control audio input through a push-to-talk mechanism, similar to walkie-talkie communication. It integrates with Pulseaudio, the standard audio system on many Linux distributions, allowing users to activate and deactivate their microphone with a keyboard shortcut or button press. This is useful for gaming, streaming, or any application where hands-free audio control is needed.

  Yapyap – a simple and fast dictation for Linux using whisper.cpp2025 · github.com · ▲7

  I was looking for a push-to-talk tool that allows me to just paste my speech transcription automatically into whatever application I'm using. I wasn't able to find anything simple enough that works, so I built my own. For now, it's just a basic CLI that works on Linux only using whisper.cpp. It is incredibly simple. You hold down the buttons, say stuff, release and then it will pipe the transcription lines to stdout. I'm using it to write this comment :)
