- What it is
- A step-by-step article, first published 29 September 2026 and updated 13 October 2026, on installing Myna, Canonical's offline speech to text app, on Ubuntu 26.04 and 24.04 LTS. It says Myna is opt-in in Ubuntu 26.10 and that its client and models install as snap packages.
- How much weight it carries
- A Linux news site, not Canonical. It is a secondary report of Canonical's work, with install steps that can change. Canonical's own announcement was not checked, and Myna's status may change before Ubuntu 26.10 ships.
