RSI folks asking for Dragon alternatives that "work out of the box" 🤔

The issue: Voice control shouldn't need a CS degree to use.

❌ Talon: Complex setup
❌ Dragon: Being discontinued
❌ Most tools: Just dictation

✅ Need: Voice-to-ACTION on any website (Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack) that learns your tone

Voice control should reduce friction for hand pain, not add it 🎯

Looking for Dragon NaturallySpeaking alternatives in 2026? 🐉

Dragon was great but it's desktop-only and expensive. Modern alternatives work across ALL platforms:
- Desktop apps ✅
- Web browsers ✅
- Mobile (via Chrome extension) ✅
- Cross-platform ✅

Genie 007 does voice-to-action, not just dictation. Say "reply professionally" and it writes the email in YOUR tone. Much smarter than old-school dictation software.

Been dealing with wrist pain from too much typing? 😓 I discovered voice control software that actually works everywhere - not just specific apps. Genie 007 lets you dictate into ANY website with just Ctrl+Space. Game changer for those of us with RSI!

Works on Gmail, LinkedIn, Twitter, even fills web forms by voice. Finally, hands-free computing that doesn't require a CS degree to set up.

that's an absolute nightmare scenario that will likely result in the same outcome as the rude individuals watching videos or talking to someone on speaker, in public. 🤦 🤮

clawdbot reads the synced notes and does whatever i tell it. "turn this into a tweet thread" becomes a literal voice command with extra steps

Linux desktop voice control has a gap. Talon costs money. Other tools are X11-only or cloud-dependent.

So I built EasySpeak.

Voice läuft jetzt via Home Assistant. Das Timing perfekt zum ersten Digital Independence Day.

Aber: Zwischen Freiheit & Komfort klafft eine Lücke: Kein Vergleich zur glattgebügelten Plug&Play-Erfahrung von Alexa, Google, Siri & Co - dafür aber halt #DigitaleSouveränität.

War aber echt Arbeit.
