In need of software that takes simple spoken words/sentence and runs a macro
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
it's not Linux native.
It's not free.
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.
I found KDE Simon, and Numen ... I've only ever used a commercial product, Dragon Naturally Speaking, many years ago. It was used so I could speak instead of typing texts but it did have functions to assign commands as well - don't think it worked on Linux though.
For speech to text I also found Speech Note (not to confuse with Speechnotes, some similar thing from a different team I believe)
Rhasspy might be a part of the solution you're looking for, at least.

Nerddictation is pretty great
