(**For a leaner tool working across all desktop environments, check also [Blah Speech to Text](https://github.com/QuantiusBenignus/blahst).**)

**Blurt** is a simple Gnome shell extension based on the command line utility [NoteWhispers](https://github.com/quantiusbenignus/NoteWhispers), which itself, is built around the great [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp).
The current code in `main` is tested on and supports ver. 48 (and likely 46 and 47) of the Gnome shell. For older versions, see the respective folders (releases) or go to the [GNOME extensions website](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6742/blurt/).

**UPDATE: GNOME SHELL version 48 is now supported in the main branch**. If installing directly from the [GNOME extensions website](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6742/blurt/), please, **get the "wsi" script from this repository** The unified functionality script `wsi` in the master branch is in sync with versions 6 and 8 of the extension published at [GNOME extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6742/blurt/).

When Blurt is enabled (indicated with &#x1E04; in the top bar), one can input text from speech into any editable field (such as the text editor in the screencast below). This is done by pressing a key combination (<CTRL+ALT+a> is the default), triggering a speech recognizer process that records a speech clip from the microphone, transcribes it with whisper.cpp and sends the result to the PRIMARY selection or Clipboard under X11 or Wayland.
When recording speech, a microphone indicator appears in the top bar and the color of the extension indicator &#x1E04; becomes yellow.
