+Speech-to-text in Neovim
+
+The transcription is performed on the CPU and no data leaves your computer. Works best on Apple Silicon devices.

+
+## Usage
+
+- Simply press `Ctrl-G` in `INSERT`, `VISUAL` or `NORMAL` mode and say something
+- When you are done - press `Ctrl-C` to end the transcription and insert the transcribed text under the cursor
+
+## Installation
+
+*Note: this is a bit tedious and hacky atm, but I hope it will be improved with time*
+
+- Clone this repo and build the `stream` tool:
+
+  ```
+  git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
+  cd whisper.cpp
+  make stream
+  ```
+
+- Download the `base.en` Whisper model (140 MB):
+
+  ```
+  ./models/download-ggml-model.sh base.en
+  ```
+
+- Place the [whisper.nvim](whisper.nvim) script somewhere in your PATH and give it execute permissions:
+
+  ```
+  cp examples/whisper.nvim/whisper.nvim ~/bin/
+  chmod u+x ~/bin/whisper.nvim
+  ```
+
+- Fine-tune the script to your preference and machine parameters:
+
+  ```
+  ./stream -t 8 -m models/ggml-base.en.bin --step 350 --length 10000 -f /tmp/whisper.nvim 2> /dev/null
+  ```
+
+  On slower machines, try to increase the `step` parameter.
+
+- Add the following shortcuts to your `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`:
+
+  ```
+  inoremap <C-G>  <C-O>:!whisper.nvim<CR><C-O>:let @a = system("cat /tmp/whisper.nvim \| tail -n 1 \| xargs -0 \| tr -d '\\n' \| sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'")<CR><C-R>a
+  nnoremap <C-G>       :!whisper.nvim<CR>:let @a = system("cat /tmp/whisper.nvim \| tail -n 1 \| xargs -0 \| tr -d '\\n' \| sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'")<CR>"ap
+  vnoremap <C-G> c<C-O>:!whisper.nvim<CR><C-O>:let @a = system("cat /tmp/whisper.nvim \| tail -n 1 \| xargs -0 \| tr -d '\\n' \| sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'")<CR><C-R>a
+  ```
+  
+You are now ready to use speech-to-text in Neovim!
+
+## TODO
+
+There are a lot of ways to improve this idea and I don't have much experience with Vim plugin programming, so contributions are welcome! 
+
+- [ ] **Wrap this into a plugin**
+  
+  It would be great to make a standalone plugin out of this that can be installed with `vim-plug` or similar
+  
+- [ ] **Simplify the `init.vim` mappings (maybe factor out the common call into a separate function)**
+- [ ] **Add Copilot/GPT-3 integration**
+
+  This is probably a very long shot, but I think it will be very cool to have the functionality to select some code and then hit Ctrl-G and say something like:
+  
+  *refactor this using stl containers*
+  
+  or
+  
+  *optimize by sorting the data first*
+  
+  The plugin would then make an appropriate query using the selected text and some context to Copilot or GPT-3 and return the result.
