While systems that take court transcription and give you English exist they’re really only good for transcribing speech and not so much for normal computer usage. A normal computer user will do things like enter passwords, use hotkeys like Control+C etc, type in URLs, and all sorts of stuff that involves special characters, modifier keys, and other non-language input.
