About this app

Offline Voice Input delivers professional-grade speech-to-text that runs entirely on your device. Whether you're writing emails, taking notes, or chatting, your voice never leaves your phone — no internet connection, no account, no tracking.

VOICE TYPING IN ANY APP
Tap the microphone on a compatible keyboard — such as Microsoft SwiftKey — or a website's voice-search button, and Offline Voice Input transcribes your speech straight into the text field. It registers as your device's speech-to-text provider.
Note: some keyboards (such as Gboard) only use Google's own voice typing and can't pass speech to other apps. If yours does, switch to a keyboard like SwiftKey — or simply use the built-in voice keyboard described below, which always works.

LIVE SUBTITLES
Get real-time, on-device captions for any audio or video playing on your phone — videos, podcasts, meetings and more.

TRANSCRIBE AUDIO FILES
Share an audio file to Offline Voice Input (or open it with the app) to turn the recording into text.

OPTIONAL VOICE KEYBOARD
Prefer voice input as its own keyboard? A dedicated voice keyboard is included — switch to it whenever you like.

Ratings and reviews

Even faster than Futo. Parakeet V3 is an amazing model. Would it be possible to have the keyboard designated as voice input only so that my regular keyboard pops up first? By the way, for the time it took to put this app together, it's worth a couple dollars. A tip to fix one of the annoying problems in the app. The bottom right hand corner is the systems icon to switch to another keyboard. That's a lot easier to tap than the icon within the app.

This works really well, and I love the fact that I have control over when the recording starts and stops. Unlike the Google speech services that keep insisting on randomly interrupting me in the middle of my sentences, here, I am fully in control of signaling that I've finished talking. And it is so convenient! The accuracy is good enough, but I would love to see perhaps newer and better models being used. I would also like to see maybe a progress bar for the transcription while it computes

Started using parakeet (via Handy) on my desktop and wondered if it could be on mobile (it seems more accurate than GBoard even), and it is! Just did the permissions in the app, and there it is as a keyboard input method, very functional. Thanks Mr. Noah (and Nvidia).
