goodroot/hyprwhspr v1.53.0 on GitHub

Thank you to all the contributors who keep the flow of excellent new features alive. 🙏

AssemblyAI Dictation over REST

AssemblyAI Dictation is now available under REST API in hyprwhspr setup.

It removes filler words and fixes punctuation and self-corrections. It supports 32 languages.

{
  "transcription_backend": "rest-api",
  "rest_api_provider": "assemblyai",
  "rest_api_model": "dictation"
}

language is sent as language_codes. Dictation API options go in rest_body:

{
  "rest_body": {
    "keyterms_prompt": ["hyprwhspr", "Hyprland", "Claude Code"],
    "rewrite_mode": "smart"
  }
}

If the cleanup fails, you get the plain transcript instead.

Dictation on Sway now follows focus on the delivery seat.

Native windows paste through wtype or ydotool.
XWayland apps like Steam and Wihen xdotool.
If focus is unknown, nothing is pasted.
If focus moves before paste, noard is restored.
In live typing, a focus change stops the rest of the dictation. copy-last recovers all of it.
Sway paste needs exactly one seat.

The service finds Sway through SWAYSOCK. Setup imports it, and hyprwhspr validate warns when
it is missing. After upgrading, r

systemctl --user import-environment SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
systemctl --user restart hyprwhspr.service

Thanks to @labfytools for #299.

Live typing recovery: Words spoken but not yet typed when typing stops are now kept for copy-last.
xdotool shortcuts: Keys are now sent as X keysym names, so chords like ctrl+tab, f5 and shift+pageup type correctly. Keys xdotool cannot name now fail instead of reporting a false paste.

feat(rest): add AssemblyAI Dictation provider by @dan-ince-aai in #300
fix(sway): support native and XWayland dictation safely by @goodroot in #301
fix(sway): detect native focus and route XWayland paste safely by @labfytools in #299
