Type with your voice on Linux using this Whisper-based app

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/speed-of-sound-linux-voice-typing-app
It’s able to simulate type via the XDG Desktop Portal. Per the project docs, this works with all major desktop environments including GNOME and KDE as well as on both X11 and Wayland. The app nudges you to give it relevant permissions when you run it.
Speed of Sound is free, open source software available to install from Flathub and the Snap Store, with AppImage, Deb, and RPM packages available from the GitHub releases page.
