About this plugin
Writing long prompts in the DeepSeek Harness Web composer often feels like your fingers cannot keep up with your thoughts. dsh-hold-to-talk brings the familiar WeChat-desktop hold-to-talk gesture into the DSH web input: press and hold the mouse on the composer, speak, watch a live transcript appear in a floating overlay, then release to commit the text into your draft. The entire pipeline runs locally — SenseVoice (int8) decoded via sherpa-onnx in a worker thread — so no API key is needed and your audio never leaves the machine.
The design philosophy centers on one principle: never corrupt your draft. The live preview lives exclusively in the overlay; only the release-time decode (from the full audio buffer) is written into the composer. This means recognition jitter can never overwrite text you are actively editing. Quick clicks, text selection, and cursor placement all work exactly as before. Native multi-threaded decoding is roughly 2.5x faster than the WASM fallback — about 3 seconds to finalize 20 seconds of speech.
Built for desktop users of dsh web who type long prompts often, care about privacy, and want zero cloud dependency for voice input. Requires a Chromium-based browser with microphone access and approximately 230 MB of disk for the one-time model download; after that, everything is fully offline.
