## Description

Offline Voice Input delivers professional-grade speech-to-text that runs entirely on your device. Whether you&#39;re writing emails, taking notes, or chatting, your voice never leaves your phone — no internet connection, no account, no tracking.<br><br>VOICE TYPING IN ANY APP<br>Tap the microphone on a compatible keyboard — such as Microsoft SwiftKey — or a website&#39;s voice-search button, and Offline Voice Input transcribes your speech straight into the text field. It registers as your device&#39;s speech-to-text provider.<br>Note: some keyboards (such as Gboard) only use Google&#39;s own voice typing and can&#39;t pass speech to other apps. If yours does, switch to a keyboard like SwiftKey — or simply use the built-in voice keyboard described below, which always works.<br><br>LIVE SUBTITLES<br>Get real-time, on-device captions for any audio or video playing on your phone — videos, podcasts, meetings and more.<br><br>TRANSCRIBE AUDIO FILES<br>Share an audio file to Offline Voice Input (or open it with the app) to turn the recording into text.<br><br>OPTIONAL VOICE KEYBOARD<br>Prefer voice input as its own keyboard? A dedicated voice keyboard is included — switch to it whenever you like.<br><br>WHY YOU&#39;LL LOVE IT<br>• 100% offline — even works in airplane mode, nothing is ever uploaded<br>• Private by design — audio is processed on-device and never stored or sent<br>• Fast and accurate, powered by NVIDIA&#39;s Parakeet model<br>• 25 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian<br>• Free and open source (MIT License)<br><br>The app downloads the speech model (~670 MB) once on first launch; afterwards everything runs locally on your device.<br><br>POWERED BY OPEN SOURCE<br>We believe in transparency and the power of the community. Offline Voice Input is built with cutting-edge open-source technology:<br>• NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B — high-performance on-device speech recognition (INT8 ONNX, quantized by istupakov)<br>• transcribe-rs — the Rust transcription engine by CJ Pais<br>• ONNX Runtime — efficient on-device model inference<br>• A native Android interface with a Rust core for speed and safety<br><br>Source code, issues and contributions:<br>https://github.com/notune/android_transcribe_app
