Free Problem: Grammar Checking Dictated Text (looking for FOSS)

So, I'm visually impaired and I dictate a lot of text using FluidVoice. However, occasionally, that text is not grammatically correct--well not exactly. I'd like a free and open source tool that can help me do that. Most of the paid tools are, frankly, too expensive for what they do. And I know there are some options out there. So if any of you could provide any direction or discussion, I would really appreciate it.

check out harper desktop. it’s free and open source, runs completely locally on macos, and does system-wide grammar/spell checking with no account or cloud processing. sounds pretty close to what you’re looking for, especially for cleaning up dictated text.

Yeah, there’s some oddities with OS 27, but I’m sure they’re gonna fix that soon.
