dicio-android

Why we included this project

Dicio is a free, open-source voice assistant for Android that does most of its work on the device rather than in the cloud. It takes spoken questions and answers them through built-in skills covering weather, web search, lyrics, calculations, timers, navigation, translation, and device actions like opening apps or toggling the flashlight, replying with both speech and on-screen feedback. Speech recognition runs locally through Vosk with small models, and a "Hey Dicio" wake word lets you invoke it hands-free, so your queries don't have to leave the phone. The skill system is extensible, and the app is available on F-Droid, GitHub releases, and the Play Store, which makes it easy to install and test on a real device. Teams building their own assistant or studying FOSS voice interaction patterns will find a compact, readable Kotlin codebase worth digging into.
