Is there any speech to text option that doesn't rely on google?

For broad use across the OS or just for input from a keyboard?

A suggestion for the latter is Sayboard:

For the former I am unaware of any robust solution.

unfortunately all model downloads fail in sayboard 😕

Any tips on adding good voice models to RH Voice?

Don't use TTS myself however RHVoice has a Github Discussions and I found this which may help?
