I got tired of cutting and pasting from Notepad, so I made a free, open-source
app that forwards text from windows dictation software like Dragon Naturally
Speaking onto the Linux desktop using wine. If you want to try it out and give
me feedback: http://thenerdshow.com/platypus.html
It works great for the most part. There is one "feature" that I would
like to add.
Because Dragon NaturallySpeaking will only dicate text to the topmost window,
the one with the focus, I would like my app to have a checkbox to optionally
stay on top of other windows in the confines of the wine desktop, but there
seems to be no way to stay on top of other windows in Wine. I notice that even
taskmgr doesn't stay on top.
