TermVoice - Terminal Voice Recorder#

A terminal voice recorder with a unified TUI for recording, browsing, playing, renaming, and deleting recordings.

Recordings are saved as MP3 files organised by date under the directory set in $VOICE_NOTES.

This is primarily a way for me to practice rust while also creating something mildly useful for myself. Feel free to use it if you find it useful or want to contribute.

Requirements#

• Rust (stable) — install via rustup
• ALSA development headers (Linux)

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install libasound2-dev

Build#

git clone ssh://git@codeberg.org/CyRav1ck/TermVoice.git
cd TermVoice
cargo build --release

The binary is at target/release/rv.

Install#

cargo install --path .

This places rv in ~/.cargo/bin/. Make sure that directory is on your PATH:

# add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc if not already present
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Setup#

Set the VOICE_NOTES environment variable to the directory where recordings should be saved:

export VOICE_NOTES=~/voice-notes

Add it to your shell config to make it permanent.

Usage#

Recordings are saved as $VOICE_NOTES/YYYY-MM-DD/practice-N.mp3.
