+ # mavor — low-latency voice dictation
24
+
25
+ Tap a hotkey, talk, tap again. The transcribed text is typed into whatever
26
+ window has focus and copied to the clipboard. A small "● Recording" pill
27
+ appears at the top of the screen — clear of Waybar — while you speak, with
28
+ a live audio waveform meter, and flips to an amber indicator while whisper.cpp or
29
+ Sherpa-ONNX runs.
30
+
31
+ ```
32
+ $mod + ` ──▶ ● Recording ▂▃▅▆ (HUD overlay with live audio meter)
33
+ talking talking talking
34
+ $mod + ` ──▶ ⟳ Transcribing… (in-process CGO / whisper.cpp)
35
+ ──▶ wtype + wl-copy (text lands in focused app)
36
+ overlay closes
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ CLI subcommands:
40
+
41
+ - `mavor daemon` — long-lived process. Owns the overlay, audio capture,
42
+ the speech-to-text (STT) engine, PipeWire audio ducking, and a Unix-socket
43
+ IPC server.
44
+ - `mavor start` / `mavor stop` — push-to-talk keybind controls (hold to speak).
45
+ - `mavor toggle` — toggle mode control (press once to start, press again to stop).
46
+ - `mavor doctor` — self-diagnostic health check for Wayland, audio, and tools.
47
+ - `mavor config init` — scaffold `~/.config/mavor/config.toml` with documented defaults.
48
+ - `mavor service install` — install and enable systemd user service (`mavor.service`).
49
+
50

51
+ > **Where it runs today:** Linux, on a Wayland compositor implementing
52

56

57

58

59

61
+
62
+ ## Why this exists
63
+
64
+ Dictation on Linux tends to arrive as an appliance: one vendor's model, one
65
+ opinionated UI, a tray icon, and a service that wants to own your microphone.
66
+ Meanwhile the interesting work is happening in the models — whisper.cpp,
67
+ Parakeet, Zipformer, Moonshine, SenseVoice, Paraformer, a new one every few
68
+ months, each with its own build, its own model layout, and its own idea of what
69
+ an API is.
70
+
71
+ `mavor` is the boring layer under that. Three goals, in order:
72
+
73
+ **One interface in front of every model.** A single `Transcriber` contract with
74
+ an out-of-process `whisper-cli`, a warm HTTP or Unix-socket server, and
75
+ in-process sherpa-onnx behind it, so switching engines is a line in a config
76
+ file rather than a different program. `mavor models list` shows the whole
77
+ catalog — size, languages, whether it streams — and `mavor models pull` puts it
78
+ where the engine will find it. Trying a new model should cost a minute, not an
79
+ afternoon.
80
+
81
+ **Minimal and unintrusive.** No tray icon, no window, no background service
82
+ listening for a wake word, no telemetry. A daemon that idles until you press a
83
+ key, a floating pill that appears while you speak and disappears when you stop,
84
+ and text in the window you were already typing in. It holds the microphone only
85
+ between `start` and `stop`, and the one piece of UI it draws is deliberately
86
+ the smallest thing that still tells you it is listening.
87
+
88
+ **A good citizen of a Wayland tiling session.** Built for compositors rather
89
+ than in spite of them: a `wlr-layer-shell` overlay that floats clear of your
90
+ bar instead of stealing focus or spawning a window your tiler has to place,
91
+ `wtype` for input so text lands in the focused surface through the compositor's
92
+ own protocols, and PipeWire ducking so whatever you were listening to gets out
93
+ of the way while you talk. It is driven entirely by keybinds and a Unix socket,
94
+ which is what makes it scriptable rather than clickable.
95
+
96
+ ## Install
97
+
98
+ ### Go
99
+
100
+ ```bash
101
+ go install github.com/mschulkind-oss/mavor/cmd/mavor@latest
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ ### Release binary
105
+
106
+ Each tagged release publishes a `linux/amd64` tarball and a `checksums.txt`
107
+ on the [releases page](https://github.com/mschulkind-oss/mavor/releases).
108
+
109
+ ```bash
110
+ tar -xzf mavor_v0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
111
+ install -m 0755 mavor ~/.local/bin/mavor
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ ### From source
115
+
116
+ ```bash
117
+ git clone https://github.com/mschulkind-oss/mavor
118
+ cd mavor
119
+ mise install # gets the right toolchain
120
+ just install # builds and copies binary to ~/.local/bin/mavor
121
+
122
+ # Or deploy binary + install systemd user service in one step:
123
+ just deploy
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ ## Quick Start & Verification
127
+
128
+ Run the built-in diagnostic tool to verify your Wayland and audio environment:
129
+
130
+ ```bash
131
+ mavor doctor
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ Initialize your configuration file:
135
+
136
+ ```bash
137
+ mavor config init
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ## Compositor integration
141
+
142
+ ### Push-to-Talk Mode (Recommended)
143
+
144
+ ```
145
+ # ~/.config/sway/config
146
+ exec mavor daemon
147
+ bindsym $mod+grave exec mavor start
148
+ bindsym --release $mod+grave exec mavor stop
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ ### Toggle Mode
152
+
153
+ ```
154
+ # ~/.config/sway/config
155
+ exec mavor daemon
156
+ bindsym $mod+grave exec mavor toggle
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ The overlay is a `wlr-layer-shell` surface on the `top` layer and does **not** request
160
+ an exclusive zone, which means two things: it floats over your content without
161
+ resizing windows, and the compositor places it *inside* the space other bars
162
+ have reserved. `top_margin` is therefore a gap below Waybar, not an offset from
163
+ the screen edge — a bar of any height, or no bar at all, works without
164
+ configuring anything.
165
+
166
+ ## Systemd User Service
167
+
168
+ Alternatively, run the daemon as a systemd user unit that starts automatically with your graphical session:
169
+
170
+ ```bash
171
+ mavor service install --start
172
+ mavor service status
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ ## Configuration
176
+
177
+ `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mavor/config.toml` (defaults to `~/.config/mavor/config.toml`).
178
+ All paths support `~` and `$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES`. Run `mavor config show` to inspect.
179
+
180
+ ```toml
181
+ top_margin = 8 # px between screen top and overlay
182
+ engine = "cli" # "cli" (whisper.cpp) or "sherpa" (CGO ONNX)
183
+ model = "base.en" # whisper ggml model name
184
+ model_dir = "~/.cache/mavor/models" # where downloaded models live
185
+ duck_audio = true # duck music/browser audio while recording
186
+ duck_volume = "0%" # level while recording ("0%" mutes; raise to merely lower)
187
+ duck_streams = ["spotify", "firefox"] # target specific media apps
188
+ socket = "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mavor.sock" # daemon IPC socket
189
+ ```
190
+
191
+ ## Models
192
+
193
+ Models are downloaded explicitly, never at runtime — the daemon fails at
194
+ startup with a `mavor models pull` hint rather than stalling a dictation on a
195
+ multi-gigabyte fetch.
196
+
197
+ `mavor models list` shows everything available, with what is already in the
198
+ cache marked:
199
+
200
+ ```
201
+ NAME ENGINE SIZE LANGUAGES STREAM STATUS ALIASES

+ tiny.en whisper 74.1 MB en no – whisper-tiny.en

211
+
212
+ - **STREAM** marks models that decode incrementally as you speak. Whisper is
213
+ encoder-decoder over 30-second windows, so it always transcribes after you
214
+ stop; the streaming sherpa transducers do not.
215
+ - **SIZE** is the download. The sherpa archives expand to roughly twice that
216
+ on disk.
217
+ - **ALIASES** are alternate names accepted by `mavor models pull` and by
218
+ `model` / `sherpa_model` in `config.toml`.
219
+
220
+ ```bash

226
+ ```
227

+ and parameter count. Where a real benchmark exists it is labelled `measured`
247
+ and carries the real-time factor from [`docs/reports/`](docs/reports/).
248
+ - **vocabulary** is what biasing the model can take. sherpa-onnx implements it
249
+ by boosting paths during transducer beam search, so only the transducers can
250
+ use a `sherpa_hotwords_file`; the CTC and encoder-decoder models cannot.
251
+ Whisper models take none today — mavor does not pass an initial prompt.
252
+ - **gpu** depends on the build you are running, not on the model. Run
253
+ `mavor doctor`, which reports what your whisper.cpp and ONNX Runtime can
254
+ actually use rather than what the config asks for.
255
+
256
+ Whisper models are fetched from the whisper.cpp GGML repository and land in
257
+ `model_dir` as `ggml-<name>.bin`. Sherpa models come from the sherpa-onnx
258
+ release assets and unpack into `model_dir/sherpa/<name>/`.

+
260
+ ## Development
261
+
262
+ `just --list` for the full set. The interesting ones:
263
+
264
+ | target | what it runs |
265
+ |-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
266
+ | `just check` | format + vet + unit tests (fast dev gate) |
267
+ | `just check-ci` | read-only CI / pre-commit verification |
268
+ | `just test` | unit tests only — fast, no Wayland required |
269
+ | `just test-int` | integration tests: spawns headless sway + waybar + daemon |
270
+ | `just test-e2e` | e2e: real whisper transcription with the `tiny.en` model |
271
+ | `just storybook`| runs UI storybook test and produces HTML screenshot report |
272
+ | `just install` | builds and installs binary to `~/.local/bin/mavor` |
273
+ | `just deploy` | installs binary and sets up systemd user service |
274
+ | `just doctor` | runs environment health check (`mavor doctor`) |
275
+ | `just build` | compiles binary at `bin/mavor` |
276
+ | `just dev` | runs the daemon against your live Wayland session, verbose |
277
+
278
+ ### Test layout
279
+
280
+ - **Unit tests** (`go test ./...`): pure Go, mocked Recorder/Transcriber/
281
+ Overlay/Output. Fast, run under `-race`.
282
+ - **Integration tests** (`go test -tags=integration ./test/integration/...`):
283
+ spin up a real headless wlroots sway, optionally waybar, the real daemon
284
+ binary, a host PipeWire null-sink, and assert against grim screenshots
285
+ and `wl-paste` output.
286
+ - **End-to-end test** (`go test -tags=e2e ./...`): real whisper-cli plus
287
+ a downloaded model.
288
+
289
+ The integration test rig lives in `test/integration/harness.go`. Each
290
+ test gets its own `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, dbus session, headless sway, and
291
+ optionally waybar + null-sink. Cleanup happens in `t.Cleanup`.
292
+

309
+ ### Build tags
310
+
311
+ The default build is pure Go. `CGO_ENABLED=0` works, cross-compilation works,
312
+ and no system development headers are needed to build it.
313
+
314
+ - `sherpa`: link the in-process sherpa-onnx recognizers. This is the only
315
+ variant that needs cgo, and therefore the only one that cannot be
316
+ cross-compiled.
317
+ - `integration`: build the headless-sway test harness.
318
+ - `e2e`: opt in to tests that exercise real whisper-cli + a downloaded model.
319
+
320
+ ## Built on
321
+
322
+ `mavor` is a thin daemon around other people's hard work. In rough order of how
323
+ much of the heavy lifting they do:
324
+
325
+ **Speech recognition**
326
+
327
+ - [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/whisper.cpp) — the `whisper-cli`
328
+ and `whisper-server` binaries behind the `cli` and `server` engines, and the
329
+ GGML model format the catalog pulls.
330
+ - [sherpa-onnx](https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx) and its Go bindings,
331
+ [sherpa-onnx-go](https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx-go) — the in-process
332
+ `sherpa` engine, including the streaming transducers.
333
+ ([ONNX Runtime](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime) rides along inside
334
+ the platform modules; a `sherpa`-tagged build links roughly 90 MB of it.)
335
+ - [OpenAI Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper),
336
+ [NVIDIA NeMo](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo) (Parakeet),
337
+ [k2-fsa/icefall](https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall) (Zipformer),
338
+ [Useful Sensors](https://github.com/usefulsensors/moonshine) (Moonshine) and
339
+ [FunASR](https://github.com/modelscope/FunASR) (SenseVoice, Paraformer) — the
340
+ model families the catalog carries.
341
+
342
+ **Desktop integration**
343
+
344
+ - [wlroots](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots) and the
345
+ [wlr-layer-shell](https://github.com/swaywm/wlr-protocols) protocol — what
346
+ lets the overlay be an anchored surface rather than a window your tiler has
347
+ to place. mavor speaks the protocol directly rather than through a library.
348
+ - [golang.org/x/image](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/image) — the rasterizer
349
+ the pill is drawn with, and the Go font it is typeset in. Embedding the font
350
+ is what makes the overlay render identically on every machine.
351
+ - [wtype](https://github.com/atx/wtype) — synthetic keystrokes over
352
+ `virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1`.
353
+ - [wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard) — `wl-copy` and
354
+ `wl-paste`.
355
+ - [PipeWire](https://pipewire.org/) and
356
+ [PulseAudio](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/) utilities
357
+ — `parec` for capture and `pactl` for ducking.
358
+ - [sway](https://swaywm.org/) and [wlroots](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots)
359
+ — the compositor this is built for, and the headless one the integration
360
+ tests run against.

375

377
+ [Waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar) as the bar the overlay has to
