Without having to watch that video..
What is a voice app?

Speech to text.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Love these kinds of projects. Recently been using this FOSS STT app on degoogled phone: https://github.com/ElishaAz/Sayboard (see releases for APKs)
Which has been great because I went years without STT.
This Futo looks promising with the punctuation. Now only if they publish to fdoid.

I would like to see an F-Droid release as well, but in the mean time you can use Obtanium to pull the APK right from the Futo website.

They have their own F-Droid repo listed on their website (https://voiceinput.futo.org):

Wow! Thank you, this is awesome!

What is incredible about this product is that I can speak normally and fluently as I normally do.
The need to look at the output as you speak is only necessary if you expect there to be errors. FUTO, amazingly, performs extremely well in this regard and I have a high confidence in not being able to trip it up. I don't feel that I need to look down at a live transcription.
This whole comment was written using FUTO voice input. I'm definitely going to donate to them.

The video title is definitely clickbait, but the app is actually really good.
-
yeah, the clickbait title almost turned me off, but I did end up watching video. I'm not really into STT (or voice assistants in general), but the keyboard they are allegedly working on does sound pretty sweet and I would definitely be interested in that.
Being that even if you go to their site https://futo.org there is no mention that I could see of this STT/voice input product, I wonder if I'll ever be able to find out about said keyboard, should it actually release. For reference, the direct link to the voice input site is https://voiceinput.futo.org
edit: I also wanted to add that I was unaware of the saved recordings thing, which is horrifying, yet unsurprising... makes me glad I don't/didn't use STT... I think... maybe I should go check...

Does anyone know if it works with android auto?
-
I don't believe that anything gives Google less access to my data.
-
Why not? There are a lot of things that can help people to give less data to Google: ad blocker, Firefox, Firefox with Google container, avoid using Gmail, avoid using YouTube...

GrapheneOS is the open source android OS on pixel hardware without any google binary blobs.
The advantage of using it is Google develops and optimizes the OS so it works on their hardware. The GrapheneOS project compiles the source code, hardens some parts, and boom
