Any decent voice typing options for Linux?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's a FUTO project, I think it's this? https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions
There's an Android version that became available recently https://voiceinput.futo.org/ I'm just not sure which repo is the Linux original
Wow. Nice. Any TTS for android? I don't like google services so i'm still missing something that can for example read back directions from Osmand. It needs to speak german, though. And english of course.
I don't know, isn't TTS an AOSP feature in Android? As in, a foss part rather than a proprietary Google thing? Look into what alternatives like Graphene do about this.
Yeah. I have GrapheneOS. TTS isn't in ASOP. It is in the additional proprietary google stuff I didn't install. I believe many people on Graphene just install this.
Typed with the Android app, I can't believe we already have something so good and so flexible that it gives the ability to select different models too!
Yea it's totally dope, I re-found it just today. Sadly my old phone is hopelessly outgunned.
Has anyone gotten the Andriod app working? I installed the APK and it will activate from OpenBoard and show that it's listening, but it won't actually output anything into a text field.
Launch the FUTO Voice Input app first. It'll give you prompts you need to set it up.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried that. FUTO Voice Input method is enabled in the keyboard settings; microphone permissions are granted.When I press the voice input button on the keyboard it pops up and listens, but no output is entered into the text field. I do notice that anytime I have a text field open, I now have a pinned notification saying "Chose Input Method". Clicking on that and choosing Futo voice still leads to the same no output issue. Any other tips would be appreciated.
I dunno. The way it works for my old phone, is that it listens for a while, then goes into "processing" and then outputs the text. Faster phones should work on the fly, but I really don't know anything else.
In the app there's a field to test, so try that I guess.
