[clug] Resolved: Speech-to-text on Ubuntu

[jhock at iinet.net.au]

Thank you to all who sent suggestions. I ended up installing the Gboard, Google keyboard app onto my Android phone. Here are the results of that sentence that I sent earlier:

when fencing it's best to use a forks training yoke to prevent small indentations on the wire that would be caused by a mechanical gripping fence strainer.

And here's the original:

When fencing, it's best to use a forked straining yoke to prevent
small indentations on the wire that would be caused by a mechanical,
gripping fence strainer.

Not too bad. I think it's good enough to get down my friends thoughts. I just need to add punctuation, change a few words and capitalise.

I've allowed the Gboard app to access the internet via WiFi and a VPN. Hopefully that will help with some privacy. :-)

Thank you again for your suggestions. I don't often use this list but when I do I get some very good responses.
