Today, Ubuntu maker Canonical announced the general availability of a technology preview of the Myna local speech-to-text dictation tool for Ubuntu users who find it easier to speak than to type.
Myna brings AI-powered speech-to-text dictation to the Ubuntu Desktop using local models. While Myna prioritizes local speech recognition, feature releases will also support online models. However, the app doesn’t require an active Internet connection and processes audio in memory and discards it after use.

Our approach to EU text provenance rules - OpenAI
Content provenance helps people understand where content came from, how it was created or edited, and whether it contains signals associated with our models. We’ve already made tools publicly available to identify images and audio generated by our models. Today, we’re sharing our approach to text watermarking in response to the EU AI Act, and how it fits into our broader work. The EU AI Act requires generative AI providers to make generated text identifiable in a machine-readable way. Text watermarking and detection remain early technologies with significant limitations, and views about their benefits and responsible uses are still developing. Our phased approach reflects both the EU AI Act requirements as well as the technology’s limitations, with an emphasis on transparency about what a text watermark can and cannot tell people:Starting today, API customers globally will be able to opt in to text watermarking for select models. Text watermarking will remain off by default in the API. Over the coming weeks, we will add an invisible watermark to eligible ChatGPT and Codex text output in the European Union. We’re opening applications to access our text watermark detector.
