Just a few years ago, realistic local speech generation seemed unimaginable. Today, its quality is exceptional and, crucially, it delivers these results without compromising privacy.

      Handy is Speech to Text, right?

      Are there any good options for voice typing, Speech to Text on android?
      I have tried Whisper which is FOSS and FUTO which is source available and uses a modified version of whisper, whisper-acft. FUTO’s is a bit more faster and accurate, so it is what I am using now.

      Tho, there do not seem to be good models for my mother tongue, Malayalam. I have found some, but they are often inaccurate and slower than manually typing.

      So, are there FOSS apps that may have that ability? Or would I have to create my own models? I do not have much programming experience, so thinking about using AI to compile datasets, explain the code etc

        I don’t know any. And I don’t think creating your own (usable) models is really an option if you’re not a pro.

    That’s pretty neat; I wish there was an updated version of Dectalk. Can’t seem to find anything other than the web version ):
