Hello HN,
I have been an avid user of Linux for a few years and have always wanted to make a contribution to the ecosystem. This is my first standalone contribution.
GNOME Speech2Text is a Shell extension that uses OpenAI’s Whisper automated speech recognition to let you dictate via microphone and have your words transcribed.
Given how much vibe coding I do these days, this extension has made my development with various tools much faster.
I learned a lot building it and got great feedback publishing it in the extensions store.
If you try it, I’d appreciate any critique or suggestions for improvements.
