Linux Mint / Libre Office Help!

Is there a dictation software (🚨supporting Swedish!🚨) that I can get for LibreOffice to save my hands when I'm note-taking for granny's diaries?

Boosts appreciated!

@JenJen Handy might work for you. Not sure about the Swedish requirement; depends on the model you install.

Handy is a cross platform, open-source, speech-to-text application for your computer

@Digital_Coolie @JenJen Handy is a good suggestion. Another is Whispering. https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering
Unfortunately, the speech recognition apps for Linux are very limited.

Open-source, local-first apps. Contribute to EpicenterHQ/epicenter development by creating an account on GitHub.

@IzzyChambers
I will point out that both are slopcoded, but the whole STT field seem to be in the hands of slopfondlers :(

With #TheTokening comming this is additional risk, because the authors will have to learn to code (more) or the projects will be abandoned.

Not to mention the STT as a field.

A free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application that works completely offline. - cjpais/Handy

@dzwiedziu @Digital_Coolie @JenJen Good point. I hadn't noticed that.

There is also Talon, which to my knowledge is slopfree, but has a very steep learning curve.
