Title.

Don’t really want to give my soul to a tech megacorps, but I do a lot of writing for work and hobbies, and sometimes carpal tunnel gets the best of me.

Ah sorry. Linux Desktop, yes.

EDIT: I have now tested Nerd Dictation for a bit.

I find it funny how the English model doesn’t get a single word wrong, even through my 12 inch thick brazilian accent

… But the portuguese-brazilian model could barely understand anything I was saying.

More an observation than anything. It amused me.

Ah yes, the anglocentrism of software development. I gave up on Google translate years ago because it clearly only catered to English speakers. The other way around was such ham fisted mistranslations with English syntax, it was basically useless.
