As an alternative for the ‘Dictate’ option in Word?
I have searched for it, but most of them seem to be for Linux, Macos and Android.

I know of Sayboard and Whisper on Android.

I have seen whisper installation setups and have tried it, but havent’t seen one that can directly dictate into other open apps.

Are there any applications which can directly enter the dictated text into an opened word or text file? One which can directy dictate into Word or Libreoffice Writer?

Thanks in advance.

    Do you have any programming experience?

    Whisper.cpp is fairly easy to use, there are plenty of open source libraries for audio input, and sending text as keystrokes in Windows is quite easy.

    There may very well be an existing solution, but if you want to put something together yourself, all the major building blocks already exist. You’d just have to write the code to tie it all together.

      Thank you.

      I have only a basic understanding, like how for loops and small functions work.

      I currently have whisper installed and I can get it display what I see on cmd. If the apps don’t work, will try that option.
