About

STT-CLI v2.0 is a Windows-only speech-to-text tool with hybrid engine support (Whisper offline + Google online). Designed for users on corporate laptops where Win+H is disabled by IT policies. Runs as a background system tray application with no visible window, using a global hotkey (double-tap Left Alt) to toggle recording. Perfect for use with Windows Terminal, PowerShell, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI.

Key Features:

- Hybrid Speech-to-Text: Whisper (offline) + Google Web Speech API (online) with switchable engines

- Offline Mode: Works without internet using OpenAI Whisper (MIT licensed, privacy-focused)

- Engine Toggle: System tray menu to switch between Auto-Detect, Whisper, and Google modes

- About Menu: Version info and engine status at your fingertips

- Auto-start on Windows Boot with persistent settings

- Global hotkey activation (double-tap Left Alt)

- Background operation with system tray icon

- Balloon notifications for recording status and engine changes
