Is there a privacy-focused accurate speech-to-text option for android?
Ideally it would run locally on device with no required connection to the internet and would allow dictation into other apps.
Thanks for any recommendations in advance.

I use futo voice keyboard
FUTO voice input. For English it’s good enough. But if you want to mix languages then no.
Thanks. I’m very impressed with Futo. Seems very accurate for me so far. I couldn’t work out why it needed the network permission so I just declined it and it still works perfectly fine.
They make a pretty good keyboard too. It doesn’t have network permissions and is open source and privacy focused.

Offline speech-to-text input method.
I came back to this today because it works as an Android service now! And I’ve already removed my other services for it✨.
Transcribro is pretty good, and available on Accrescent, but only for English (and American spelling only, at that).
Thanks. I have tried Transcribo as a lot of people say it is very accurate. This isn’t the case for me though. Maybe I have a weird accent or something.
I use transcribro daily, and it consistently surprises me with its accuracy; I had to say “OIC,” and I thought for sure it was gonna interpret it as “Oh, I see,” but it got it right!
Edit: I just tried FUTO though and I think I already like it better lol
joplin published this video recently. Open-source and offline dictation (voice typing)

I user thus as a plugin for my epub reader.
You might be interested in Whisper Cpp, there is even an “example” android app in the repo. If you are looking for complete solution/app, I would probably look into apps that incorporate this lib.
