Configuration File

whispercom stores your provider and model preference in a JSON file:

~/.config/whispercom/config.json

Schema

{
  "provider": "groq",
  "model": "llama-3.3-70b-versatile"
}

Field	Type	Description
provider	string	One of: anthropic, openai, google, mistral, groq
model	string	A model ID valid for the selected provider

Editing Manually

You can edit the file directly in any text editor instead of using whis configure.

# macOS / Linux
nano ~/.config/whispercom/config.json

# Windows
notepad $env:USERPROFILE\.config\whispercom\config.json

Resetting Configuration

Delete the config file to force a fresh setup on the next whis run:

rm ~/.config/whispercom/config.json
