Kiku Transcribe

Kiku Transcribe is an open-source, light-weight, offline-first speech-to-text transcription application for Android. Tailored for US English and powered by the Vosk voice recognition engine, it provides real-time, privacy-focused transcription that works entirely on-device without requiring an internet connection.

🌟 What it's used for
Accessibility: Real-time captions for the hearing impaired.
Note-Taking: Dictate thoughts, meeting minutes, or lectures hands-free.
Journaling: Capture personal reflections quickly through speech.
Privacy-Sensitive Tasks: Transcribe confidential conversations without data leaving the device.

🚀 Key Features
🎙️ Advanced Transcription
Offline Recognition: High-accuracy transcription using the Vosk engine. No data usage or privacy concerns.
Live Feedback: See "partial" results as you speak, which transition into final text automatically.
Magnetic Auto-Scroll: The view intelligently follows the latest text floor as it's generated, but stays put if you scroll up to read history.

📁 Session Management
Persistence: Sessions are automatically saved locally.
Auto-Load: The app remembers your last active session and loads it instantly on launch.
Naming & Organization: Generate timestamped session names or rename them to suit your needs.
Quick Deletion: Easily manage your history with dedicated trash icons and confirmation dialogs.

👆 Fluid Navigation
Dual Swipe Gestures:
Swipe Right: Instantly open the "Saved Sessions" menu from anywhere on the transcription screen.
Swipe Left: Quickly access the "Settings" menu.
Custom Toolbar: A unique curved notch design that keeps essential controls within thumb-reach.

⚙️ Customization & Export
Dynamic Text Scaling: Change font size on the fly via the settings menu.
Legibility: Proportional line-height ensures text remains readable at any size.
Easy Sharing: Export your transcriptions to other apps (Email, Notes, Messaging) with a single tap.

It is not the most powerful or accurate transcription tool on the market, due to the lightweight model running transcription. The entire app is less than 120MB installed. Later versions are planned and intended to be tailored for specific regions. If you have a request head to the Github repo (link below) and submit your issue for consideration.
