Review summary

Users praise FUTO Voice Input for its high accuracy, privacy-focused offline processing, and support for multiple languages and models. It outperforms Google's input in many aspects and offers automatic punctuation and filler word removal. However, multiple reviews mention difficulties with microphone integration across keyboards, lack of API support, and occasional errors in noisy settings. Despite these, users find it reliable and are willing to pay for its features, appreciating the balance between speed and accuracy this app provides.

Pros

Highly accurate voice recognition, often surpassing Google's voice input accuracy.
Works offline with all processing done on-device, ensuring user privacy and no data harvesting.
Provides multiple models (small, medium, large) allowing users to choose between speed and accuracy.
Automatically adds punctuation and cleans up filler words like 'ums' and repeated words.
Supports multiple languages including English, Urdu, and Dutch with real-time transcription.

Cons

Limited microphone integration; lacks compatibility with most major keyboards for easy activation.
No API option available for developers, limiting extensibility and integration.
The app imposes 30-second recording limits requiring frequent stopping and reviewing.
Some users experience inconsistent punctuation placement and occasional misrecognition, especially in noisy environments or with speech impairments.
The microphone icon often doesn’t appear in certain keyboards and browsers, making triggering voice input difficult.

2024-11-14	Da*****	I absolutely love this voice input. I will say that it gets things right far more often than other voice inputs I've used, but when it does get things wrong, it gets them very, very, very wrong. I don't know if anybody else is experiencing this, but honestly, I feel like it did a better job with my voice input about a year ago. I will say that within like the last six months I really feel like it's kind of gone off the rails and just put in some wild crazy stuff that I did not say lol

2024-08-11	Da*****	The experience is quite seamless and it works as intended. Even this review was typed using it. I used it in connection w/ Heliboard. For Eng, Model-39. For Urdu Model-244. Both work as intended. It is quite easy/ convenient to type a draft using it and then correct the minor mistakes. Best of all, it works offline w/ no Ads.

2024-08-02	Vi*****	Absolutely stunning that I can use voice typing together with my default keyboard which is The app is clean, full, functional and works perfectly. I really, really don't understand why there is no option to use the API. This smaller models are just not the same. I'd pay you guys quite a lot for that option ;)

2024-07-18	Fa*****	I'd give a 4.5 if I could, but I'll round up. The voice recognition itself isn't perfect, but it is quite good (when it comes to the more precise model. There are a fast and a slow version, the fast is still better than Google's. The slow is even better). The main downside is that, if you're going to use a microphone button that is built into a keyboard, you basically have to use a third-party one. It's still quite easy to use, though.

2024-07-02	Jo*****	This is the most accurate voice to text I have used on Android. The only issue I run into is occasionally if I hit the microphone and don't say anything, it will imagine something was said, something like woof woof woof. This review was actually written using it, and I didn't even need to say any punctuation. It just automatically picked it up.

2024-07-02	Me*****	Very reliable, and privacy respecting. I really like the option to choose between smaller, faster models, and larger, slower models; this really allows you to fine-tune this for your device, and your specific needs. Absolutely worth the (completely optional) $5 payment.

2024-07-01	Lu*****	FUTO Voice Input was the most accurate voice input option I tried, the speech detection is accurate, fast and shows up in near real time. The speed is due to not needing any Internet connectivity as the speech recognition runs locally. Hence it's unable to harvest any personal information. You can select various accuracy/speed options for both English & Multilingual models. FUTO VI uses an indefinite trial & honor system. You can pay $10 or click ”I already paid” with no verification required.

2024-06-08	Yv*****	I downloaded this app when Louis Rossman first introduced it on his YouTube channel but at the time it had difficulties detecting voice when there is noise around for example in a car. A recent update has made it much more noise resistant. I will be able to try using this app more and more in the future. One suggestion is multiple recording and transcribing threads at the same time, so the speaker doesn't have to stop and wait for the previous sentence to be transcribed. Paid in full- Thank You!

2024-05-30	Ja*****	Finally, a privacy-respecting speech-to-text (voice input) engine that just works. All processing is done on your device only, so that your private data stays, well, private. For native speakers the recognition rate gets impressively high, even when using the small recognition model. (You can choose from 3 - S,M,L.) When switching to the medium model, the transcript gets close to impeccable, as long as you are not speaking with a heavy accent. Highly recommended!

2024-05-13	Ma*****	The absolute best voice input app I have found. I love the customization and options and especially love the models and the different options, like the slower but more accurate or the slowest so you can decide how long you want to process what you say but then you get a better result as a result of waiting for the better model.
