WhisperTux is a free, open-source, simple GUI around whisper.cpp for offline voice dictation on Linux: press a shortcut key, speak, press it again, and the transcribed text appears in whatever app has focus. It's aimed at Linux users who want system-wide dictation that stays local, without a GPU required (though one can be used if available).
