Dictation software

[John J. Boyer]

Is there sofrware for Linux that can accept dictation? I have a sound card that I think is adequate. I'm using
command-line Debian, but I can install a desktop environment to be loaded when needed.

A dictation program could be very useful to me, since I am deaf-blind and a lot of people are very slow typists.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
As far as I know, there is nothing under Linux that would quite do the
trick, but I think that google has a service which one can call over the
web to do speech recognition.
That might be something to investigate.
HTH, Willem

Hi John,
I am late, but I would like to mention the Simon project for speech
recognition with Open Source:
https://simon.kde.org/
I don't know how useful it is at this time.
Greetings,
