+# stt-dictate.sh - Push-to-talk speech-to-text using whisper.cpp

+# Usage:
+#   stt-dictate start   # demarre l'enregistrement
+#   stt-dictate stop    # arrete et transcrit
+#   stt-dictate toggle  # bascule entre start/stop
+#
+# Keybinding i3 (mode toggle):
+#   bindsym Mod4+space exec stt-dictate toggle
+#
+# Modeles disponibles (STT_MODEL):
+#   tiny    - 39 MB   - rapide, qualite basique
+#   base    - 74 MB   - rapide, bonne qualite
+#   small   - 244 MB  - equilibre (defaut)
+#   medium  - 769 MB  - lent, excellente qualite
+#   large   - 1.5 GB  - tres lent, meilleure qualite

+# Exemple: STT_MODEL=tiny stt-dictate start
