LibreOffice does not seem to have an inbuilt voice type feature. Is there any way to enable voice typing in LibreOffice?
If not, is there any other free and open source software with which I can voice type in LibreOffice?
I am using Ubuntu 24.04.

This can be done with Dabri. It is a native speech-to-text app that uses whisper, and your data is entirely processed offline.
First, install libfuse2.
On Ubuntu (24.04+):
sudo apt install libfuse2t64
For example, on Ubuntu 22.04 and below:
sudo apt install libfuse2
Download the latest AppImage from https://github.com/AshBuk/dabri/releases/latest.
Go to the folder where you downloaded it in a terminal and run
chmod +x dabri-*.AppImage
./dabri-*.AppImage
Now the app will start running in the system tray. Click on "Start recording" and say something. The text will be copied to clipboard. Paste that in LibreOffice.
