Yes, I've run across this page in previous research sessions. It's where I
found out about IBM's discontinued software, which seems to have been the
best available for Linux, and even rivalled Win software in accuracy at
the time.

I cannot decipher that page. What I want is dictation software--something
that deciphers your speech and prints it out in a word processor. Being
able to issue formatting commands (e.g., "insert footnote") would be nice
as well. If what they provide does something like this, they couldn't have
obscured it any better.
