[Solved] Dictation Software

Hello! I recently had trouble with my hands and would like to find some dictation software in order to reduce strain. I have found some speech-to-text toolkits such as julius and kaldi, but no real dictation software. I don't want to write my own program, I would just like one that can transcribe mic input in real time and preferably, but not necessarily, apply some elementary commands such as "colon" etc. Does anyone know one?

If you try it, make sure to install vosk into a venv or user path, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python … management
Here're available models, https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models
