Question:  Does anyone know if there is any voice recognition software that runs  under Linux, preferably for free?   Alternatively, can my Dragon Nat. Speaking 4 be made to run using WINE or  VM-Ware?   I don’t mean to start a big techie debate on the list, so apologies to  anyone that has no idea what I am on about!

Answer 1: Via Voice for Linux — it’s very good.

Answer 2: Big blue is hot on Linux: But it looks like via voice for Linux is only “US English” at the moment, so you’ll have to stick a bit of chewing gum up your nose to make it happy?
