You can also use google docs to voicetype.  Just open a new document, go to tools, and select voice typing.

If you were interested in this topic I found a great little program. So great I even threw a little money at the author. You have to use it with Chrome but that is the only drawback (it isn't stand-alone). https://speechnotes.co/

From what I’m reading, this is one area that Linux struggles in compared to other operating systems. My guess is because voice recognition in general isn’t easy in the first place.

 

The Arch Linux wiki apparently has a list of available software. Pretty sure most of them are available on the other distros.

But it also depends what you want. Do you want voice dictation for writing (Dragon Naturally Speaking), or do you want voice commands (OK Google, Cortana, Siri, etc)?

 

Worst case scenario, you could just run Windows 10 in a VM or something, lol.
