Accessibility friends: I know someone who uses Linux (Ubuntu) and typing is slowly becoming impossible. A few individual button presses are doable, but touch typing is increasingly off the table.
Is there Ubuntu compatible software that's _actually good_ for speech-to-text, but also other controls of the computer? Is the speech-to-text in Google Docs a reasonable tool?
He has a Windows computer, too, if there's a really superior option, just doesn't use it much.
