Is there an easy to install offline voice input system using Whisper yet?
Like, I push a button or key combo and talk at my computer and it types what I talk.
If not, why?
I do not mind writing some code to get this working but my time is very limited right now.

dsnote/speechnote (it's the same thing) seems to be the best gui option. Check out the doc https://github.com/mkiol/dsnote?tab=readme-ov-file#insert-into-active-window

my bad this uses the api, but I guess it can be easily modified to use a local whisper.cpp
some other links to check out:

I've been following this project
https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering
They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they're developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day
Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:

I would like this tech as well

I have this working, still need to make a pr for arch. btw
