Currently the models are also worse than google's, so expect many errors, but it would be easy to update with better models later on. Building on this it should be possible to create a keyboard app with offline speech-to-text to be used with other apps, like the google one.

I've just tried vosk (based on kaldi), which has a demo android app (sources, not apk) and models (<100MB) for multiple languages which can be plugged together easily. Today, though, there is pocketsphinx and kaldi which have decent 'small' models for several languages and it seems even mozilla is working on something to be released in near future. Back then there weren't any open source projects for voice typing which were good and small enough to be used in an android app, so I abandoned the wish. Then I banned google from my phone and had since to arrange without voice typing. TL DR: afaik there is still no app, but open source backends now exist, so maybe it is easy to wrap it in a keyboard application I've started to build a prototype.Ībout 5 years ago I discovered voice typing by google and enjoyed it very much. The accepted answer to that question does not satisfy the requirements of this question. This question adds a specific requirement not present in the other question. Update: As previously stated, this is similar to another question, but not a duplicate. Swype requires an active internet connection for the speech-to-text functionality to work, so it's a no-go as well.TouchPal looks like a good keyboard, but it requires Google's speech-to-text software, so it's a no-go.Two apps that I have tested, but do not qualify: Since that question already has a good answer, I will pose a similar question, this time adding the key requirement: that the keyboard and speech-to-text functionality both work completely offline.Īn android keyboard that has quick access to speech-to-text (aka speech-recognition or voice-to-text) functionality, but that does not require any Google services or software. Unfortunately, I did not include a key requirement, and that answer does not satisfy the requirement.

I wrote this question, and it received a good valid answer.
