Hi people
Is there any good FOSS dictation and transcription software similar to Just Press Record for Android and/or Linux?
I couldn’t find anything so far. Thanks a lot.
Not FOSS as it’s under another license, but there’s “FUTO Voice Input” if you’re looking for a local alternative to Google’s voice dictation on Android
https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/voiceinput
The repo has a list of supported and unsupported Android keyboards. Under the hood it uses OpenAI Whisper
This one of my most used apps at the moment, it works 100% on your device and is great for filling in search terms, for AI prompts , messages etc. The only downside is that it seems to have a character limit so it may not be what OP is looking for.
Falling into the not sure how open source it is because AI is a mess. But it works category…
It’s still surreal to see OpenAI’s need for training data be so vast that they casually developed and open sourced a generational leap in transcription technology just so that they could scrape online videos better.
There is Talon Voice. It’s not FLOSS, nor even Open Source in any way. But it’s good.
I’ll watch this thread as I’m keen to know myself.
Depends on your use case but I found a plugin to use openai for dictation in obsidian
I’d prefer to keep both the recordings and the transcription local if possible, either on device or self hosted.
