Background: I have been an avid user of Linux for a few years and have always wanted to make a contribution to the ecosystem. This is my first standalone contribution. I am super pumped to finally have done something that hopefully proves useful to others. I learned a lot building it and got great feedback publishing it in the extensions store.

Extension: GNOME Speech2Text is a Shell extension that uses OpenAI’s Whisper automated speech recognition to let you dictate via microphone and have your words transcribed.

Given how much vibe coding I do these days, this extension has made my development with various tools much faster.

If you try it, I’d appreciate any critique or suggestions for improvements.
