Transcribro

Why we included this project

Transcribro is a good pick if you want speech-to-text on Android without your audio leaving the device. It works both as a voice-input keyboard and as a system-level speech-to-text service, so any app that uses the standard Android speech API can take dictation from it. The transcription runs OpenAI's Whisper models locally via whisper.cpp, and Silero VAD handles voice activity detection, so the whole pipeline stays on-device. Because the code is open, it's also a useful reference for developers adding offline speech recognition to their own apps. One caveat: it currently supports English only, with other languages planned.
