Transcribro: Private and on-device speech recognition keyboard and service for Android.

There! I added a screenshot of the keyboard UI at the bottom of the README.md. There isn't really anything else to screenshot other than maybe the ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH activity but it's basically the same but floating and with only the mic button.

Screenshots would be nice I suppose, yeah. A walkthrough/instructions are sort of included in the app in the Start screen, at least enough to get stuff enabled. I think the keyboard UI is pretty easy to understand, and the buttons are large and there is no wasted space which is nice for accessibility. At this time there aren't any plans to publish it on F-Droid. However, Accrescent is the recommended way to get it as Accrescent provides automatic updates (which can be turned off if you'd prefer) and has higher security than GitHub and F-Droid. It's available on GitHub releases too.

FUTO keyboard seems pretty cool! By default it switches to an enabled voice input keyboard when you press the microphone button, so you can actually use Transcribro with FUTO's keyboard! Better together! Of course perhaps you like their voice input or another voice input more. But it's good that they give you an option rather than being limited to only theirs! Transcribro might be a better option for you if you like how it has more buttons and some unique features compared to FUTO's. It's also around the same speed and accuracy as they both use the same underlying model. So give it a try and let me know!

Thanks now I'm using FUTO. Very nice design for a FOSS app.

And it's on normal app stores available to keep me sane.

I checked it out. This appstore has like 8 apps from which the majority is made by this developer. I wouldn't even be surprised if he's not trying to promote his app but the appstore instead. I'd not trust this store.

Have you read their FAQ at https://accrescent.app/faq ?

Yes, please use GitHub's "Issues" tab and you'll see an entry has been made to support multiple languages.

For now, it is English only.

You can still get the apk on GitHub releases if you don't want to use Accrescent. Also you can use Obtanium to get automatic updates for many apps from different sources, including GitHub.

for real, like it's weird that it's on such a small app store without branching out to the other larger ones, it makes me think something else nefarious is going on. Not that it actually is but that's the look that it gives with something like this lol It's on my radar but I'm going to give it a bit before trying just in case

Thanks, an F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid release isn't planned at the moment. Sayboard uses the Vosk model and because of that it can have almost real time transcription. It also has a punctuation keyboard integrated within. But Transcribro has better accuracy, punctuation, and capitalization as it uses OpenAI's Whisper model. While Transcribro isn't real time, it will compute very fast after it stops detecting speech (which takes a few seconds due to not wanting to stop early) or press the mic toggle to stop it yourself. On shorter stuff on my Pixel 7 it can take less than two seconds. There are many more differences and I'd suggest trying it out yourself to see exactly.

Yet another appstore... I just want to get the app. I don't care about what stupid repository the developer prefers. This is getting out of hand. Definitely not downloading another appstore just to get this app.
