I had not seen that page but was aware of most of the content. Its link
to the Wikipedia article on Mycroft [an end user app using the
DeepSpeech toolkit] will prove fruitful.
Thank you.

Many years ago when I was a Windows user and Dragon Naturally Speaking
was in its initial release I followed speech recognition casually - but
not recently.
Are there now end-user, Debian compatible, dictation applications that
do NOT require proprietary software nor internet connectivity? My
internet searching turned up primarily old material or tool-set packages
packages aimed at programmers creating their own packages {e.g. Sphinx}.
I asked on the debian-user list and received comments from some with
interest in speech recognition (but not users). I was pointed to
Mozilla's DeepSpeech [1][2]. May not be ready to use "out of the box",
but seems pointed in the right direction.
Comments or suggestions?
TIA
