I went to https://github.com/ajbogh/blather which says it is no longer 
being worked on.

It is also aimed at a quite different scenario.
It will run on my laptop under 32bit Debian Stretch.
It will be running continuously, sending a text stream to a single 
application whenever I speak.
Think of it as a voice activated typist.
Thank you.
