Voice typing for Linux, as a .deb or an AppImage.

Wispr Flow doesn't support Linux. Superwhisper's Linux build is distributed on GitHub as Omarchy packages (its website still lists Linux as coming soon). Whispek ships a .deb and an AppImage for mainstream distributions like Ubuntu and Debian.

Press Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Space, talk, and clean text lands at your cursor.

Version 0.1.16 beta · Linux x86_64 · Released Oct 19, 2026

Install notes

Prefer the .deb on Debian/Ubuntu. Use the AppImage when you need a portable binary. Manual overwrite installs keep local data.

Current release: 0.1.16 (beta)

Released October 19, 2026. These are unsigned x86_64 beta packages built against an Ubuntu 22.04 glibc baseline.

  • .deb for package-manager installs on Debian/Ubuntu.
  • AppImage for a portable executable.
  • Architecture: x86_64 / amd64.
  • Signing: unsigned beta.
  • Manual overwrite installs preserve local history and settings.

Install tips

On Debian or Ubuntu, install the .deb with your package tool. On other distributions, make the AppImage executable and run it.

Shortcuts and desktop differences

Voice input is Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Space, and the Assistant is Left Ctrl + Left Alt + A. On X11 you can hold the shortcut to talk, and you can change it to another combination of modifier keys plus one key. On Wayland, the shortcut goes through your desktop's global shortcuts portal, and Whispek shows the combination your desktop assigned. Whispek can't type into other apps on Wayland, so when your text is ready you get a Copy text button to paste it yourself, and it's saved in History.
