Why we included this project

Whisper Mic is a thin Python wrapper that puts OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition behind a microphone input. You call `listen()` from your own code, or run the `whisper_mic` command-line program to transcribe what you say; the `--loop --dictate` flags even type the transcript at your cursor. The same model size choices as Whisper are available, so you can pick a smaller, faster model for a quick demo or a larger one when accuracy matters more. That makes it a handy building block for dictation-style tools and voice-driven prototypes, though it stays a lightweight local helper rather than a full transcription service.
