operator, n. — the one who answers, finds the exit, gets you through
Talk to your terminal.
Like ringing the ship — you talk, the Operator answers, acts, and talks back. Hold a key, say what you want. It lands in the terminal you're looking at.
There is no cloud. WhisperKit for ears, Kokoro for voice — every word runs on your Mac.
why it's good
Push-to-talk to text in about a second. No spinner, no round-trip to anywhere.
On-device speech in and out. No cloud, no API keys, no account to talk to. Works on a plane.
A menu-bar icon and one hotkey. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
iTerm2 and Ghostty — not a browser tab. Run several agents; each gets its own voice.
