As I understand it, there are no out-of-the-box voice typing apps for Linux that function in the way that Google Voice or Dragon Anywhere on Android work. By this I mean system-wide, not browser based. In other words, something that would allow me to voice-type directly into office applications, my email client, etc.
I know there are such apps using local language models but nothing that would use Watson, Whisper or Google via API. If I'm wrong about that, I'd appreciate being pointed to the relevant apps.
I've thought about using Mycroft for this purpose but maybe that's overkill? Has anyone implemented something like this using their own scripts? Are there examples of such scripts somewhere I could look at them?
(Edit: I know about "Whispering". That is indeed an app that tries to accomplish this but I have not been able to get it to work on my Linux Mint PC. Seems an immature product for now.)
