Re: “Is there a 'speech to text' program that runs under Linux?”
There aren't even many good packages for Windows. But I *am* getting the following answer from google: "Nuance Dragon is not available for Linux but there are plenty of alternatives that run on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is Dictanote, which is free."

There's more to it than just voice recognition, though. After all, Windows has voice recognition built in... if that's all I wanted. But Dragon's voice recognition is quite good, and it lets me invent my own words and have lengthy templates as their "spelling." The one I'm using in this response to you, for instance, is about half of a page long. The ability to do that is important to me and is the reason I bought Dragon Professional instead of the less expensive Dragon Home Edition. Mere voice recognition wouldn't have done what I wanted.

You use linux. How about installing Dictanote and giving us a review? If you do, be sure to comment on whether it lets you create templates like what I described.

Hmmmm.
Is there a 'speech to text' program that runs under Linux?
