- What it is
- The README of the VOXD repository, written by its maker, describes VOXD as a free, open-source voice-typing tool for Linux. It states how speech is processed, how text is typed into other apps, and which AI providers the optional post-processing supports.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own repository page, so it is authoritative for what VOXD does. It is undated and describes a project that changes, so each figure is dated to the month it was read. It does not describe a paid plan.
