I don't know of a FLOSS equivalent to the Windows program Naturally Speaking from Dragon either. Not working via a VM or WINE?JulianRegret. I do not use a smartphone so cannot help.My neighbour who is partly (almost fully) blind depended on Dragon for about 17 years on his macOS computer(s) as a physics researcher, then about a couple of years ago Dragon pulled all support for Dragon on new macOSs. His mac upgraded the OS and his Dragon ceased to work and backwards he could no go. Result loss of livelihood OR buy a Windows machine to which he was unable to transfer 17 years of research notes, but it could read his backups (differences in macOS and Windows version of Dragon) At that time I did extensive research for him to find a Linux alternative , where he could not be 'locked out' by vendor dependence alternative. Regrettably none existed, with the facilities he required. A big change to start Windows in his late 60s after using macOS since he became a university researcher after decades in HMG.This was a major lesson in (evils of) Proprietary software.Now for disabled folk, I make and keep for them a complete system image so they 'can go back'. In event of upgrade destroying a working facility.I suggest when you find an Android equivalent you make sure, you have it for 'keeps'. Let me know what you find. Thanks in advance
