 # Hush
 
-A Linux speech-to-text daemon that records audio, transcribes it via the Groq Whisper API, optionally cleans up the text with an LLM, and types the result into whatever window currently has focus.

+The intended workflow: bind `hush toggle` to a global hotkey, press to start recording, press again to stop, and the transcribed text appears in your active application. Use profiles to switch behaviour per hotkey — e.g. one binding for normal dictation, another for translating speech into a shell command.

+## Profiles
+
+Profiles let you switch Hush's behaviour on a per-hotkey basis without touching the main config or restarting the daemon. A profile is a partial TOML file stored in `~/.config/hush/profiles/` — only the fields you list override the base config.
+
+Create a profile interactively:
+
+```bash
+hush profiles new cmd
+```
+
+You will be asked whether to write the prompt manually or have the AI generate it from a description. The profile opens in `$EDITOR` for final review.
+
+Example profile at `~/.config/hush/profiles/cmd`:
+
+```toml
+whisper_language = "en"
+system_prompt = """
+Convert the spoken input into a single valid bash command. Output only the raw
+command with no explanation, no markdown, and no backticks. If the input is
+unclear, output an empty string.
+"""
+```
+
+Bind a second hotkey to use it:
+
+```
+Super+R        → hush toggle
+Super+Shift+R  → hush toggle --profile cmd
+```
