Install voxtype on Omarchy
Voxtype turns speech into typed text: hold a push-to-talk hotkey, speak, and release, and the transcription is typed at your cursor or copied to the clipboard. Transcription runs locally through engines like Whisper or Parakeet rather than a cloud service, and it can automatically duck your music while you're dictating. It works across GNOME, KDE, Sway, Hyprland, and River.
- Open a terminal.
- Run the install command:
omarchy pkg add voxtype-bin - Check it landed. Pacman should list version 1.1.1-1:
pacman -Qi voxtype-bin

- Optional GPU (NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm/MIGraphX, or Vulkan) to accelerate transcription; runs on CPU otherwise
