YazSes

YazSes is offline, on-device voice dictation. Hold a key (Space by default), speak, release — your words are transcribed locally and typed into whatever app has focus. No cloud, no API key, no subscription; nothing leaves your machine.

Features:

• Offline speech-to-text with faster-whisper (CPU, int8) — no GPU needed
• Voice commands for editors and terminals: "undo that", "save file", "go to line 42", "run the tests", "rename this to user_id"
• Personal vocabulary and multi-step macros
• Works in any focused text field — editors, browsers, terminals, chat

Note: this is a strictly-confined snap; keystroke injection works on X11 sessions. For Wayland or full input access, install via pipx instead: https://pypi.org/project/yazses/

Install: sudo snap install yazses
