Python X11 transcription daemon that records audio, runs Whisper, logs the transcript, and can optionally run AI post-processing before injecting text.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- X11 (not Wayland)
|
|
- `ffmpeg`
|
|
- `whisper` (OpenAI Whisper CLI)
|
|
- `xclip`
|
|
- `xdotool`
|
|
- Tray icon deps: `libappindicator3` and `gtk3` (required by `systray`)
|
|
- Python deps: `pystray`, `pillow`, `python-xlib`, `ollama`, `openai-whisper`
|
|
|
|
## Python Daemon
|
|
|
|
Install Python deps:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -r src/requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 src/leld.py --config ~/.config/lel/config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
Create `~/.config/lel/config.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"hotkey": "Cmd+m",
|
|
"ffmpeg_input": "pulse:default",
|

|
|
"segment_sec": 5,
|
|
"streaming": false,
|
|
"injection_backend": "clipboard",
|
|
|
|
"ai_enabled": true,
|
|
"ai_provider": "ollama",
|
|
"ai_model": "llama3.2:3b",
|
|
"ai_temperature": 0.0,
|
|
"ai_system_prompt_file": "",
|
|
"ai_base_url": "http://localhost:11434",
|
|
"ai_api_key": "",
|
|
"ai_timeout_sec": 20
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Env overrides:
|
|
|
|
- `WHISPER_MODEL`, `WHISPER_LANG`, `WHISPER_DEVICE`, `WHISPER_EXTRA_ARGS`
|
|
- `WHISPER_FFMPEG_IN`
|
|
- `WHISPER_STREAM`, `WHISPER_SEGMENT_SEC`, `WHISPER_TIMEOUT_SEC`
|
|
- `LEL_RECORD_TIMEOUT_SEC`, `LEL_HOTKEY`, `LEL_INJECTION_BACKEND`
|
|
- `LEL_FFMPEG_PATH`
|
|
- `LEL_AI_ENABLED`, `LEL_AI_PROVIDER`, `LEL_AI_MODEL`, `LEL_AI_TEMPERATURE`, `LEL_AI_SYSTEM_PROMPT_FILE`
|
|
- `LEL_AI_BASE_URL`, `LEL_AI_API_KEY`, `LEL_AI_TIMEOUT_SEC`
|
|
|
|
## systemd user service
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
|
|
cp src/leld.py ~/.local/bin/leld.py
|
|
cp systemd/lel.service ~/.config/systemd/user/lel.service
|
|
systemctl --user daemon-reload
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now lel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- Press the hotkey once to start recording.
|
|
- Press it again to stop and transcribe.
|
|
- The transcript is logged to stderr.
|
|
|
|
Injection backends:
|
|
|
|
- `clipboard`: copy to clipboard and inject via Ctrl+V (requires `xclip` + `xdotool`)
|
|
- `injection`: type the text with simulated keypresses (requires `xdotool`)
|
|
|
|
AI providers:
|
|
|
|
- `ollama`: calls the local Ollama API
|
|
|
|
Control:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make run
|
|
```
