Transcribe Your Voice in Terminal Locally

Hacker News

Use hns, a speech-to-text CLI tool to transcribe your voice from your microphone directly to clipboard. Integrate hns with Claude Code, Ollama, LLM, and more CLI tools for powerful workflows. hns transcribes your voice 100% locally using faster-whisper. The whisper model is downloaded automatically on first run and after that, hns can be used completely offline. After transcription, the text is displayed in the terminal (written to stdout) as well as automatically copied to your clipboard, ready to be pasted anywhere with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.
