## Privacy
|
|
|
|
| Data | Where it goes | Condition |
|
|
|------|---------------|-----------|
|
|
| **Audio** | Stays on your machine | Default (local Whisper/Parakeet) |
|
|
| **Audio** | Groq or OpenAI servers | Only if you choose cloud STT |
|
|
| **Text** | AI cleanup provider | Only if you choose AI cleanup |
|
|
| **API keys** | `~/.bashrc` on your machine | Never sent anywhere by this script |
|
|
|
|
No provider uses your data for training. Cloud data is deleted within 30 days.
|
|
|
|
## Useful commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openwhispr # Launch the app
|
|
openwhispr --help # Show options
|
|
source ~/.bashrc # Reload API keys in current shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the app:
|
|
- **Settings → Hotkey** — change your hotkey (default: backtick `` ` ``)
|
|
- **Settings → Models** — download better speech models
|
|
- **Settings → Processing** — change STT or AI provider
|
|
|
|
## Supported distros
|
|
|
|
| Distro | Package format | Status |
|
|
|--------|---------------|--------|
|
|
| Ubuntu / Debian / Mint | `.deb` | Supported |
|
|
| Fedora | `.rpm` (dnf) | Supported |
|
|
| openSUSE | `.rpm` (zypper) | Supported |
|
|
| Arch / Manjaro / EndeavourOS | `.tar.gz` | Supported |
|
|
|
|
Architecture: `x86_64` (amd64) and `aarch64` (arm64).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **bash 4+**
|
|
- **curl** — for downloading
|
|
- **jq** — for parsing GitHub API (script offers to install if missing)
|
|
|
|
## Safe to re-run
|
|
|
|
The script is idempotent:
|
|
- Skips OpenWhispr install if the latest version is already present
|
|
- Never overwrites existing API keys in `~/.bashrc`
|
|
- Detects already-installed paste dependencies
|
|
|
