Great to see more Linux-first accessibility tools.

Been building in public it for last eighteen months almost. Bit by bit, with the community.

I currently use Speach Note, but it doesn't support real-time dictation - it waits until the end of sentence to start processing.

We can try out Vosk in vocalinux where that does real-time dictation but might not be as accurate as Whisper models.

How does it compare to Speech Note?
