The short answer: Download the .deb package and run sudo apt install ./aiche-desktop_1.0.9_amd64.deb, or download the AppImage, make it executable with chmod +x, and run it.

Installation Options

Option 1: DEB Package (Ubuntu/Debian)

  1. Download the .deb package from aiche.app/profile?section=downloads
  2. Install it:
sudo apt install ./aiche-desktop_1.0.9_amd64.deb

Option 2: AppImage (Universal)

  1. Download the AppImage from aiche.app/profile?section=downloads
  2. Make it executable and run:
chmod +x AICHE-Desktop-1.0.9.AppImage
./AICHE-Desktop-1.0.9.AppImage

First Launch

  1. Launch AICHE from applications menu or by running the AppImage
  2. Click "Sign In" button
  3. Browser opens to aiche.app/connect-desktop
  4. Log in with your account
  5. Authorization completes automatically

AICHE Ready to Record

Test Recording

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+R from any application
  2. Speak your text
  3. Press Ctrl+Alt+R again to stop
  4. Text appears at cursor position

Heads-up: Grant microphone permission when prompted on first recording.

The pro-tip: The global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+R works from any application without switching windows.

Result: Installation takes under 2 minutes. Start recording immediately after authorization.

Do this now: Press Ctrl+Alt+R in any text editor and say "Testing AICHE on Linux" to verify it works.
