Is there any good speech to text transcription app?
For android there is FUTO voice input as an fdroid repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo
I can’t believe how good this is! I’m on a really busy street (in the middle of Sydney, George Street actually), and it’s put in commas in, it handles question marks and all my texts. I can’t believe how good this system is and to think that it is local and open source is so impressive.
I know, right? It’s a really amazing piece of work when it comes right down to it. They have a donation thing, but since I don’t have Google Play Services, I can’t use it, and they don’t have the crypto donation set up yet.
Thanks for letting me know about the donation thing. I suffer from RSI so I’m always happy to donate to things that help. Much appreciated. And as before, this is written with the keyboard voice to text. It’s now very, very noisy in a bar.
Holy crap, the quality of the generated input is incredible.
Works great. Thank you.

But basically look for something that utilizes the Whisper AI model. This list has a few options, but I am not sure if there is newer stuff: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-whisper
Yeah Whisper is really good. It can also deal with a bunch of non english languages.
That’s good to know, thank you.
Futo voice input got damn good for german and english at least. They use whisper afaik
Check out Talon Voice. It’s a bit of getting your head around, but I use it for not just transcribing, but also coding, and general computer navigation.
The offline AI that I tried a few months ago probably needed training on the noise environment to get decent results. I forget which ones I tried but likely the ones with extensions already in Oobabooga Textgen. I was messing with text to speech mostly, but some of the ones that do TTS also have packages and examples for STT. Nothing I tried for offline generation was good enough to speak as an AI prompt without manual corrections.
Did you try whisper?
Sayboard on fdroid is an option as well https://f-droid.org/packages/com.elishaazaria.sayboard/
