The dictation app that works in airplane mode.
Local Flow is a floating bubble that turns your speech into polished text in any app — punctuated, capitalized, fillers removed — processed entirely on your phone. It's free: no plans, no limits, no account.
THE AIRPLANE-MODE TEST
Don't take our word for the privacy claim — test it. Turn on airplane mode and dictate: it works. Your voice and your words are processed entirely on your phone. The app has no account, no cloud, and the release app doesn't even request internet permission. The "No data collected" label on this listing isn't marketing copy; it's how the app is built.
WHAT IT DOES
• Works in every app — chat, email, notes, search boxes. No keyboard switching.
• Turns natural speech into clean text: punctuation, capitalization, the "ums" and false starts removed.
• Five languages — English, Italian, German, French and Spanish — with automatic detection, or pick one.
• Personal dictionary: teach it names, brands, and jargon once — it spells them your way every time.
• Voice snippets: say a short cue, insert the full text you saved.
• Changed your mind? Say "scratch that" and the last dictation disappears.
• Dictation history stays on your phone — encrypted, optional, and yours to clear.
HONEST LIMITS
• Five languages for now: English, Italian, German, French, Spanish. More are planned.
• The AI model is a one-time ~650 MB download, delivered by Google Play (Wi-Fi recommended). The size is the point: the entire AI lives on your phone instead of a server.
• A model that fits on a phone can't imitate a datacenter — so we tuned ours for exactly one job: turning your speech into clean text.
HOW IT WORKS
Local Flow uses Android's accessibility service to show the bubble and place text at your cursor. What it uses is disclosed in plain language during setup: it reads the field you're dictating into and sees which app is in front (so you can disable the bubble per app). It reads nothing else, and nothing leaves your device.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who thinks faster than they type. Fire off long messages hands-free, draft emails on a walk, capture notes before the thought escapes. If typing hurts — RSI, tendonitis, or just tired thumbs — voice typing becomes your main keyboard, not a fallback.
COMMON QUESTIONS
• Is this speech-to-text or something more? Both: it transcribes your voice, then polishes it into text you'd actually send.
• Does it work offline? Yes — that's the point. After the one-time model download, no connection is needed.
• Do I need to switch keyboards? No. The bubble works alongside whatever keyboard you already use.
• Where does my audio go? Nowhere. It's processed on your phone and discarded.
FREE
Local Flow is free. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, no weekly allowance and no trial — every feature, for everyone. Nothing to renew, nothing to cancel.
