Bolo: Type with Speech

Local Offline Apps

About this app

Bolo is a fully offline, privacy-first voice keyboard for Android.

Just press the mic button, speak naturally, and Bolo converts your speech into text — instantly, locally, with zero internet required. No cloud. No servers. No privacy compromises.

🎙️ VOICE-TO-TEXT FOR EVERYDAY TYPING
Dictate messages, emails, notes, and search queries hands-free. Works in any app that accepts text input — WhatsApp, Chrome, Gmail, Signal, and more.

🔒 100% PRIVATE — NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
All AI processing runs entirely on your device using the bundled Whisper AI model. Your voice is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Not even to us.

⚡ ZERO LATENCY — NO INTERNET NEEDED
Works offline, every time. Perfect for areas with poor connectivity, or whenever you want to type without waiting for a server response.

🌐 MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT
Speak in English or Hindi — Bolo understands you and produces clean, readable English text.

⌨️ FULL KEYBOARD INCLUDED
Bolo is a complete keyboard replacement with a clean, familiar QWERTY layout, number pad, symbols, emoji picker, and smart backspace. Switch between voice and typing seamlessly.

🎨 CUSTOMIZABLE THEMES
Choose from four beautifully designed themes: Classic Dark, iOS Clean, Terminal, or High Contrast — to match your style.

✅ WHAT BOLO SUPPORTS
• Voice dictation (English, Hindi)
• Smart numeric keypad for phone/pin/date fields
• Autocorrect via speech — just re-dictate
• Haptic and sound feedback
• Emoji picker with full system emoji support
• Comma, full-stop, and punctuation keys always visible
• Shift, Caps Lock, and symbol pages

📱 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher
• ~500 MB free storage for AI models (one-time download)
• Microphone permission (for voice input only)

HOW IT WORKS
Bolo uses OpenAI's Whisper — one of the most accurate speech recognition models available — running entirely on your phone via the ONNX Runtime. The first time you open the app, you'll download the model files (≈460 MB). After that, no internet is ever needed.
