Can you recommend a locally run speech-to-text plugin?
I want push-to-talk to transcribe my words at the cursor position.
My searching has only found questionable plugins that require AWS or some other external processor. Vibe will transcribe using an OpenAI model but it's too slow and the output is not at my IntelliJ cursor position. The LLMs suggest that I hand-roll something using Whisper.
Can you please point me to an existing solution?

It looks like there's a tool called Push-to-Whisper that might be exactly what you're looking for. It enables push-to-talk transcription using OpenAI's Whisper model, running entirely locally without relying on AWS or external processors. The transcribed text is inserted directly at your cursor position, making it ideal for IntelliJ and other editors.
If you're open to exploring community discussions, there's also a thread on IntelliJ Support where users are discussing locally run speech-to-text plugins. You might find additional insights or alternatives there.

Push-to-Whisper sounds great. Got a link? Google only returns this conversation. :P
