Re:Show HN: Wayland Speech-to-Text Tool on Saturday June 28, 2025 @01:36AM (#44402485)
Hey, Good question! You're right. Nothing should prevent you from using it with other environments, especially after the 0.2.x refactor, where I dropped dependencies on wtype and ydotool. Now you can pipe the transcribed text to anything you want. My motivation was that the only reason I stayed stuck with ChatGPT was access to many customized system prompts (through projects) that I could dictate to. I like speaking to AI in my native tongue. Now I can switch to Claude fully. Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: Wayland Speech-to-Text Tool

https://github.com/sevos/waystt

I vibe-coded a speech-to-text tool for Wayland that works for me. You trigger it with a keybind, speak into your mic, and it transcribes using OpenAI Whisper or Google STT (local is coming), then either types it directly into your active text field or saves it to the clipboard.It uses PipeWire for audio capture and works signal-driven, so there's no background process running. Just on-demand...

if someone is skilled enough to migrate to US, then let them be paid decently.
It's Germany, believe me, my friend. Customer service in Berlin, especially. People working here in customer service seem to not have basic CS training and they are simply not polite. The most important thing to them seems to be to ensure that it's not their fault that you have a problem and that your problem is yours. I call it "don't give a st mentality". Really sad. It's one of the things which makes me want to leave this country.

I would also implement a button for reverting pull requests already merged in master. Reverting merges may be not trivial for less experienced users

rails package - dockerization of app, but this rather goes beyond of responsibilities of Rails and I should complain at capistrano guys ;-)

why not use bundle gem instead?
