Hi people

Is there any good FOSS dictation and transcription software similar to Just Press Record for Android and/or Linux?

I couldn’t find anything so far. Thanks a lot.

Not FOSS as it’s under another license, but there’s β€œFUTO Voice Input” if you’re looking for a local alternative to Google’s voice dictation on Android

The repo has a list of supported and unsupported Android keyboards. Under the hood it uses OpenAI Whisper

This one of my most used apps at the moment, it works 100% on your device and is great for filling in search terms, for AI prompts , messages etc. The only downside is that it seems to have a character limit so it may not be what OP is looking for.

I just tried this out. Besides the fact that it doesn’t stream and translates after speech is done, it’s absolutely fantastic. Of course, it would suffer in accuracy if it were translating a stream so I think that’s a plus instead of a minus, although some people might not think so.
