I helped coding oTranscribe+ [0], which does something similar to what you are asking for. Using ElectronJS and the current, at that moment, version of oTranscribe, there is this desktop application.

It's interesting as speech recognition has become more popular than ever through services like Alexa, and other iot devices support for OS speech recognition has very little development. Don't get me started with accessibility apis either... Unfortunately most implementations (especially those that are iot focused) don't have very important features for robust speech recognition. 1. Ability to enable and disable a grammar 2. Modify grammars while the engine is loaded 3. Scoped grammars that are context-specific 4. Recognition callbacks 5. Multiple grammars active simultaneously. Unfortunately I don't t

As I understand it DeepSpeech is no longer actively maintained by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/issues/3693 For Text To Speech, I've found Piper TTS useful (for situations where "quality"=="realistic"/"natual"): https://github.com/rhasspy/piper For Speech to Text (which AIUI DeepSpeech provided), I've had some success with Vosk: https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api
