Voice to text

I run Ubuntu or PopOS at home. I want to find a voice to text extension of
OOO. Is that a thing, or do I need to try and find an OS-specific app that
could add the functionality to OOO?

Puh, you ask very generic. Quick answer: I do not think that the project 
defines this as a "core feature".

See rejected references:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=84997

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=71542

But they are pretty old. One survived bug report survived the request 
(mainly because Hagar seemed to directly confirm it, I guess ;) )

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=85058

And the related discussions  on the forum:

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2483

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=634

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=1358


There are extensions that turn up through google:

https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/speechoo-dictation-pad-openofficeorg

https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/evoice

But these seem only to add only basic features. I guess even the OS 
based might supply the same features:

My quick assessment:

The current state is it is very rudimentary implemented.


All the best

I don't think there is such an extension for AOO.

You will need to find something OS specific, that can transform spoken
language in written text (normally that works in every application with
a text input field).

For Ubuntu (and Ubuntu based PopOS) I found "Simon" in the App store.
But I don't know how it works and there may be other programs better
suited for your task.
