From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

while I was writing this comment I came across this: LinVAM which sounds like exactly what you are looking for. But, if that doesn't work out for you here's what I was originally writing:
Voice Attack may fit your needs.
BUT
However, my research does suggest that it works in Linux via proton/wine, and so it may serve your needs since what you've described is basically exactly that software's whole purpose. It's popular for adding voice control to games by mapping voice commands to game controls.
i am sure LinVAM works great but i am on wayland so will have to give it a miss, also voice attack is a goto but i am unable to find how to use it in linux, theres a reddit post but deleted
It's available on Steam, so you could get it there and run it through Proton. I don't know how well it works there like that, but if it doesn't work you could refund it.
That doesn't work sadly as voice attack has two ms dependency's that proton can't satisfy
Do you know what those dependencies are? They may be installable using protontricks, or manually via wine into the prefix if that doesn't work. I have had some luck doing that for other software in the past that required dependencies that weren't satisfied.
