Thanks for that idea,
I was able to capture some output from Dragon Nat. Speaking using that idea.
trace:text:DrawTextExW L"New-Paragraph ", -1, [(17,2)-(729,18)] 00000824
trace:text:DrawTextExW Params: iTabLength=0, iLeftMargin=0, iRightMargin=0
trace:text:DrawTextExW L"this text was dictated into NaturallySpeaking for ", -1, [(17,2)-(729,18)] 00000824
there's almost certainly a better way to do this but at least that gives me a rudementary way of grabbing dictated text in a Linux process.
I could probably pipe it through grep to filter out the actual text from the rest.
Unless anyone has a better idea ....

I am running a windows app under wine that prints text to the screen. This can be copied and pasted into wine's notepad. Is there any way to get wine to simply output all text written by the app to standard out?
I remember I did something like this to extract the word list from a Dutch dictionary program:
WINEDEBUG="trace+text" wine <app.exe> 2>&1
Because my program can't display all words at once and because I didn't want to click the mouse button a hundred thousand times I wrote a little program to do it.
I used xwininfo and xev to find the window id and coordinates of the down arrow on the scroll bar for the word list. The program would then send X button press and release events to this window in a loop.
