Vocal SSH is a lightweight, voice-first SSH client for Android. Connect to your remote servers and speak commands instead of typing — perfect for hands-free server management.

VOICE-POWERED TERMINAL
Tap the push-to-talk mic button and speak. Vocal SSH transcribes your speech and sends it directly to the terminal as input. No more fumbling with tiny keyboards while managing your servers.

ON-DEVICE SPEECH RECOGNITION
All voice processing happens locally on your phone. Choose from three powerful STT engines:
• Parakeet V3 — Recommended, 10x faster than Whisper Base
• Whisper Large V3 Turbo — High accuracy for complex commands
• Moonshine Base — Lightweight and efficient

No audio ever leaves your device. Your privacy is fully protected.

Built on the trusted ConnectBot foundation (the first SSH client for Android), Vocal SSH includes everything you need:
• SSH connections with password and public key authentication
• Biometric-protected password storage for quick, secure access
• Save and manage multiple connection profiles
• Terminal emulator with full VT100/XTerm compatibility
• Port forwarding (local and remote tunnels)

DESIGNED FOR DEVOPS & SYSADMINS

Vocal SSH is free with no ads and no paywall. The core SSH + voice functionality will always be free. The source code is available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.
