I’ve just recently transitioned from Windows to Linux as a lifelong user and I can’t for the life of me find a way to type with my voice. Ive tried some scripts and apps but I couldn’t make it work after trying for a few days straight.

I mostly need it in Firefox but it’d be nice to have it systemwide.

I’m using ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 so Whisper AI is out of question as it requires a graphics card.

What could you recommend?

For local models, the app SpeechNote seems to be your best bet, but I’ve had trouble with getting it to work system wide, I have to copy the text from the app to other places. Idk about online models.

Thanks, I’ve installed it but haven’t figured out how to use it yet.
