I've used a few and got so invested that I built my own. If I had to suggest some, they are also all Open Source:
Handy - It's great, supports Mac, Win and Linux. It's very focused on dictation, but it doesn't go too far outside of that. It's also completely free https://handy.computer/
VoiceInk - Mac only, and pretty good if you're on a Mac. It starts at $25 for one device. https://tryvoiceink.com/
Glimpse - the one I built. Mac and Windows, free local dictation. A lifetime license covers other paid features, w/ a 2 week free trial. https://tryglimpse.cc
I use Handy, it's fine, my complaint is that you can't have it clean up your grammar mistakes, it just records your words exactly as is. But for that it's great

Big fan of https://www.macwhisper.com/ Can use local or cloud models.
+1. My only complaint is that the on-device models don’t handle punctuation commands on their own.
I've been building one for Mac: https://clarifyfor.me/
FluidVoice has been working well enough for me on my laptop.
