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 Dragon dictate use to be the thing, but is there anything open source, self-hostable that’s superseded it?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 feel like the guys in that Scottish sketch show in the voice activated elevator.

    Just to say, that is a hilarious sketch. ELEVEN!

        I would say that 95% of the comedy I enjoy is not on American TV but ‘overseas’ humor. There’s just something that resonates with me. I grew up very multi-culturally, living all over the world as a young lad. I feel like I don’t even belong in America. I’m not even fond of American sports. (gasp!)
