About
Voxa is a push-to-talk voice dictation tool for the Omarchy Linux desktop and macOS (experimental), built as a native C daemon and CLI with no Node.js dependency. It streams recorded audio to the ElevenLabs Scribe API using the user's own API key, supporting multilingual transcription with primary/secondary language selection or automatic detection, then inserts the transcribed text directly into whichever app is focused.
At a glance
Voxa turns a keyboard shortcut into dictation that inserts transcribed text into the focused app. It is worth evaluating if you use Omarchy and want the same dictation gesture across editors and terminals.
Good fit
People comfortable using a hosted speech service for non-sensitive dictation.
Consider something else when
Choose offline dictation if microphone audio cannot leave your device.
Start here
Use a blank editor and dictate a made-up sentence. Check insertion and cancellation before using the shortcut in an app where stray text has consequences.
Cost and requirements
Requires internet access and an ElevenLabs key with speech-to-text access. The project documents Omarchy dependencies and an experimental macOS path.
Limits to know
Audio streams to ElevenLabs. On macOS, insertion uses the clipboard with best-effort restoration.
