# NexTalk

> Dictate text offline across your Linux desktop

NexTalk is an open-source dictation tool for Linux that processes speech locally on the device. A configurable hotkey opens a small floating capsule; users speak, see text appear, and submit it to their current application. The interface disappears when the interaction ends.

The app uses Sherpa-onnx for speech recognition and integrates with Fcitx5 for system input, supporting Wayland and X11 environments, terminals, and development tools. Its current language models focus on Mandarin Chinese and English. NexTalk is useful for Linux users who want voice input across desktop applications while keeping audio processing offline.
