A lightweight CLI tool for translating voice to text using Whisper, seamlessly piping the transcribed text to any Unix-like command for versatile integration.

}

const intervalId = setInterval(typeMessage, 100); // Adjust the interval as needed

process.on('message', (msg) => {

// Keep the process alive
setInterval(() => {}, 1000);
