Like dragon naturally speaking, is there a similar program in linux?

Speak into a microphone and the outcome is text on a word processor...

Not really. There have been projects similar in the early early development stage for a couple years now, but nothing usable by the average person has been introduced yet.

I've read that Dragon works well on Wine with a little coaxing.

About a year or so ago I was looking into Speech Recognition for Linux and did have a chance to try out some of the available experimental software. It looks promising, but for now, I'd recommend staying with proprietary software.

I used to have a bunch of bookmarks saved up with all the sites, documentation, and download pages for a lot of the available programs. If you do a google search for "linux"+"speech recognition" you'll find all the same pages, probably. Things may have changed in the last year....

For a word processor, OpenOffice

Dragon, naturally speaking is of course the popular commercial application, and is well respected, however if you don't need to say your applications, a simple text to speech translation might be enough, as in read my email or web pages to me, so you can relax and not have to keep reading
--and it might be faster than typing..

In terminal, check

apt search speech

p gnome-speech-swift - GNOME text-to-speech library (Cepstral swi
i libgnome-speech7 - GNOME text-to-speech library
