About this app

FUTO Voice Input is an application that adds voice input capabilities to your phone. It integrates with apps and keyboards that support the standard Android voice input APIs (ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH and Voice IME). All processing is done completely offline on your device, and your recordings are NEVER saved or sent anywhere. The app accesses the Internet only when you choose to download optional models. FUTO Voice Input respects your privacy.

Ratings and reviews

I'd give a 4.5 if I could, but I'll round up. The voice recognition itself isn't perfect, but it is quite good (when it comes to the more precise model. There are a fast and a slow version, the fast is still better than Google's. The slow is even better). The main downside is that, if you're going to use a microphone button that is built into a keyboard, you basically have to use a third-party one. It's still quite easy to use, though.

Very reliable, and privacy respecting. I really like the option to choose between smaller, faster models, and larger, slower models; this really allows you to fine-tune this for your device, and your specific needs. Absolutely worth the (completely optional) $5 payment.

I downloaded this app when Louis Rossman first introduced it on his YouTube channel but at the time it had difficulties detecting voice when there is noise around for example in a car. A recent update has made it much more noise resistant. I will be able to try using this app more and more in the future. One suggestion is multiple recording and transcribing threads at the same time, so the speaker doesn't have to stop and wait for the previous sentence to be transcribed. Paid in full- Thank You!
