Voice Control was supposed to be the Future. Is Linux lagging behind?
TBF Microsoft dropped IE, windows phone... that is not uncommon. But the OP is right, maybe not much for voice control but for dictation certainly. The FLOSS community is always far behind and thus always struggle with new technologies. We should be prepared. Since you've mentioned small open source project here's a demo of NerdDitaction. FYI Linux do have mobile devices developing.

I've made voice input for Linux that I use instead of a keyboard and mouse
Yeah you get me. I did have RSI which was amplified by my other issue, but it was that issue that progressed and why can't type now, not RSI. I'd be interested in hearing about using numen in combination with typing, but it's likely not ideal yet. Maybe just using speech to text for some things could help? It's not my project but there's: https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation that uses the same speech recognition as numen.
