I wrote up a small utility that transcribes the words you speak into your microphone. This lets you type out long blocks of text quickly.

You can try it now with:

nix run github:blargg/ai-utils#whisper-transcribe -- -m tiny.en -t

This is part of a set of tools that I make that I think everyone should have at this point. This also has a utility to let you copy text from images, pdfs, and other uncopyable elements on your screen nix run github:blargg/ai-utils#screen\_copy.

You might remember that this was called Screen Copy before. But I felt like a name change was needed.

I use the utility to write out some of this text, but it doesn’t really work too well with the coding elements, and I had to fix some typos.
