Readme
@by-k4n/yohoho
Free, fully-local voice dictation for developers — hotkey → speak → on-device transcription → text pasted into the focused app. No subscription, no cloud, no audio ever leaves your machine.
This npm package is a thin, dependency-free installer: it bootstraps uv (which brings its own Python) and installs the real yohoho tool under the hood. You do not need Python pre-installed.
Install
npm install -g @by-k4n/yohohoThis puts a yohoho command on your PATH. Then:
yohoho setup # pick a hotkey, grant permissions, download the model (first run)
yohoho start # press your hotkey anywhere to dictate
yohoho config # interactive settings menu — record a new hotkey, tweak chimes, and moremacOS and Windows are supported (Linux is best-effort). On macOS, setup walks you through the required Accessibility / Input-Monitoring permissions.
Alternatives
If you already have the Python toolchain:
uv tool install yohoho # from PyPI
pipx install yohoho # from PyPILinks
