I ran into this problem while working (coding) & trying to do grad school (in Comp Sci). The first point I'd make is, take a rest break (no computer use) for a while if you can. ASR isn't really there yet, & it won't help you with other things you might want to be pain-free for... seriously.
That said, there is a group called "Open Source Speech Recognition Initiative" whose mailing list I'm on, but they don't have any product yet. Might get a better answer posting there, though. Or not.
There's also a group on Yahoo (I think) called VoiceCoder. That's your best bet right now, although it's all about Dragon Naturally Speaking & various hacks & kludges to be able to do coding, use Dragon for Linux, etc. Dragon has been reported to run under WINE, but of course YMMV depending on your hardware, versions, etc., etc. Finally, whatever approach you try, expect it to take a good long while before you begin to approach your hand-using productivity. The technology isn't there yet, and even though I know how to improve it, I have no Ph.D. so no one would give me the $$ to do the research that could back up my claim.

It's spyware.
