![]() Not really an equivalent to Dragon for personal dictation.ĭragon's current owners are Nuance and from some web pages (not Nuance's) I gather that they used to do work on unix like systems. I found some commercial software under linux, and I'm not afraid to pay, but they were larger systems intended to transcribe conferences or radio broadcasts in real time. All projects seem to be research level rather than accomplished applications. Some projects were more oriented towards voice recognition such as you find on telephone support systems where you are requested for simple voice input. The latest Julius documentation which I downloaded today seems to be from v 4.1.5 in 2010. There seems to have been lots of development activity in the past but it all seems to have stopped around 2010 - 2012. I've followed all sorts of references to Simon and Julius and others without finding any ready to go dictation software. I know people who get very fast text input using Dragon NS on Windows especially with the versions of DNS 12 and higher where the training period is very small or non-existent.īut on linux, I'm afraid you are probably right. The slightly longer answer is: Even Dragon doesn't work - unless you have a lot of time to waste to train it.Thanks Herman but I don't agree with your longer answer. Sorry if you consider this to be off-topic, but I see it as relevant. Getting the distractions away from you is the main thing. I don't type as fast as I can talk, but it's close. You type in words and sentences, not characters and punctuation.Īlso while there are some activities where a mouse is a benefit, most things you do with your word processor and/or computer in general can be done with a key combination much more quickly than you could reach for a mouse and find a menu item. By hiding the keyboard you stop thinking about key location and start thinking about what you want to say. Most people who type regularly know where all the keys are but are not confident in that knowledge.
