Ah sorry. Linux Desktop, yes.

EDIT: I have now tested Nerd Dictation for a bit.

I find it funny how the English model doesn't get a single word wrong, even through my 12 inch thick brazilian accent

.... But the portuguese-brazilian model could barely understand anything I was saying.

More an observation than anything. It amused me.
