I'm a lousy typist. Trying to make notes on a laptop does not work well because typing interrupts my train of thought.

Many years ago when I was a Windows user and Dragon Naturally Speaking was in its initial release I followed speech recognition casually - but not recently.

Are there now end-user, Debian compatible, dictation applications that do NOT require proprietary software nor internet connectivity? My internet searching turned up primarily old material or tool-set packages packages aimed at programmers creating their own packages {e.g. Sphinx}.

I asked on the debian-user list and received comments from some with interest in speech recognition (but not users). I was pointed to Mozilla's DeepSpeech [1][2]. May not be ready to use "out of the box", but seems pointed in the right direction.

Comments or suggestions?
TIA
