WhisperDrop

Speak. Drop. Done.

WhisperDrop is a tiny, fast speech-to-text tool for Linux and Windows. It sits as a dark floating widget on your screen—press F8 anywhere, speak, and your words drop right at the cursor. No copy-paste, no switching windows. Uses OpenAI Whisper via faster-whisper for fast, accurate transcription. GPU accelerated with CUDA, automatic CPU fallback. macOS is not supported.
