Hi people

Is there any good FOSS dictation and transcription software similar to Just Press Record for Android and/or Linux?

I couldn't find anything so far. Thanks a lot.

Not FOSS as it's under another license, but there's "FUTO Voice Input" if you're looking for a local alternative to Google's voice dictation on Android

The repo has a list of supported and unsupported Android keyboards. Under the hood it uses OpenAI Whisper

I just tried this out. Besides the fact that it doesn't stream and translates after speech is done, it's absolutely fantastic. Of course, it would suffer in accuracy if it were translating a stream so I think that's a plus instead of a minus, although some people might not think so.
