DictateKeyboard

Dictate Keyboard is an open source voice keyboard for Android 8.0 and later. It replaces the phone's keyboard with one that lets users speak into any text field, in messages, notes, email, documents and forms, with the words appearing as they talk, and then tidy the result with an AI rewrite before sending. It suits people who dictate often and want control over which speech and writing models they use. Transcription can stream in real time from one of five cloud providers, run fully offline on the phone with one of eight free on device models such as Whisper, Parakeet and Canary, or go to a user's own endpoint. For the finish, twelve rewrite providers can translate, summarise, shorten, change tone or run a custom action. It keeps ordinary keyboard features including glide typing, suggestions, autocorrect, emoji, clipboard, themes, gestures and cursor tools, and a floating mic lets people keep their existing keyboard. The developer states there are no ads, analytics, tracking, telemetry or crash reporting SDKs on any route. The app has no subscription and is published under the Apache 2.0 licence. Offline models cost nothing to run, and users who bring their own provider key pay that provider directly at its list price, with nothing added. For people who would rather not set up an account with a provider, prepaid Dictate Cloud minutes are sold on Google Play, with larger packs costing less per minute; the site does not list those pack prices. Prepaid credit is the only route that passes audio through the developer's server, which it says stores neither audio nor text, and that server's code sits in the same public repository.
