I’m starting to develop arthritis in my fingers, which makes typing an interesting challenge.
I’m wondering, what is the best self-hosted solution for speech-to-text generally? Dragon dictate use to be the thing, but is there anything open source, self-hostable that’s superseded it?
I would love to be able to have something that I can speak into that can interact with pretty much any app, be that notepad++, or my web browser when I’m entering stuff or even when I’m creating this Lemmy post (which I actually made using futo voice on my phone).
Windows and/or Linux ideally.
Any leads? Getting old sucks.


I was recently reading about Talon Voice, which sounded quite interesting with lots of usability hacks. Unfortunately, not an option anymore if you are a Linux user: https://www.osnews.com/story/145162/accessibility-input-tool-removes-x11-support-doesnt-want-to-support-wayland-users-caught-in-the-middle/
Thank you!
