You can also use google docs to voicetype. Just open a new document, go to tools, and select voice typing.

If you were interested in this topic I found a great little program. So great I even threw a little money at the author. You have to use it with Chrome but that is the only drawback (it isn't stand-alone). https://speechnotes.co/

        From what I’m reading, this is one area that Linux struggles
        in compared to other operating systems. My guess is because
        voice recognition in general isn’t easy in the first place.

        The Arch Linux wiki apparently has a list of available
        software. Pretty sure most of them are available on the other
        distros.

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Speech_recognition
        <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Speech_recognition>

        But it also depends what you want. Do you want voice dictation
        for writing (Dragon Naturally Speaking), or do you want voice
        commands (OK Google, Cortana, Siri, etc)?

        Worst case scenario, you could just run Windows 10 in a VM or
        something, lol.

        You know.... my android recognizes most of what I tell it to
        type. Android is linux. so what is a good voice program I
        could apt-get?
