### FUTO Voice Input Speech-to-Text Android Keyboard

(Open Source, not FOSS)

Did you know Google's voice to text app records and saves everything you say into it . . . forever? Yikes! No thanks.

Fear no more. Louis Rossman, and the FUTO organization he works for, have finally released their voice recognition app for Android phones.

The app is called Voice Input. It is based on OpenAI Whisper, which is really good. This means it does capitalization, punctuation, & works better than Google's offline version

This is the solution we've been waiting for! No Internet access needed. It's all done locally on your phone

The Voice Input app is open-source, but it's not FOSS, and has a very, very limiting license

Here is 👉 [the FUTO F-Droid repo](https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo/).

You can download the app directly from the [FUTO company website](https://voiceinput.futo.org).
