Dictation app that inserts text in real time?

I'm looking for a Mac dictation app that will transcribe directly into a Word document as I speak (similar to Dragon), instead of transcribing into a box which then gets inserted into the Word document once a key is pressed or released. I need an app that runs locally only - no cloud anything. Preferably FOSS. Any suggestions to try out?

Hoping someone on this subreddit can provide some help. I recently changed from one Mac Mini to a new one. Scrypted is running on the new Mac Mini. Cameras and NVR work fine on Scrypted itself. However, I cannot get any cameras added to HomeKit. When I try to add, it times out and I get the message "Unable to add accessory. Accessory is not reachable".

I have checked out all the suggestions in the wiki: https://docs.scrypted.app/homekit-troubleshooting.html

  • Ensure all your Apple TV and Home Pods are online and updated. Power cycling them is recommended in case one is stuck. - DONE
  • Ensure your Apple TV and Home Pods are on the same subnet as the Scrypted server. - They are
  • Ensure LAN/WLAN multicast is enabled on your router. - it is
  • Ensure the iOS device you are using for pairing is on the same network (pairing will fail on cellular). - it is
  • Ensure the Docker installation (if applicable) is using host networking. This configuration is the default if the official Scrypted Docker compose install script was used. - not applicable (running on Mac)
  • Try switching the mDNS advertiser used in the HomeKit plugin settings. - have tried all settings in menu, with restart in between each change
  • Try disabling IGMP Snooping on your router. - done

I have also set static IP for Scrypted under network and also under HK (the wired IP address) and disabled Wifi on the Mac.

Not sure if this is meaningful, but in the ios Home app, if I click "add accessory" and "more options", all of the cameras show up as nearby accessories (meaning that Home is seeing them from Scrypted). But attempting to add them to the Home app does not work and times out. Something seems to be blocking the connection between HK and Scypted.

When I had the same setup on my previous Mac Mini (on the same network), I had no difficulty adding the cameras to Scrypted.

I don't know what else to try, and am open to any suggestions.
