Is there any good speech to text transcription app?
For android there is FUTO voice input as an fdroid repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo
I can’t believe how good this is! I’m on a really busy street (in the middle of Sydney, George Street actually), and it’s put in commas in, it handles question marks and all my texts. I can’t believe how good this system is and to think that it is local and open source is so impressive.
I know, right? It’s a really amazing piece of work when it comes right down to it. They have a donation thing, but since I don’t have Google Play Services, I can’t use it, and they don’t have the crypto donation set up yet.
Sayboard on fdroid is an option as well https://f-droid.org/packages/com.elishaazaria.sayboard/

But basically look for something that utilizes the Whisper AI model. This list has a few options, but I am not sure if there is newer stuff: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-whisper
Yeah Whisper is really good. It can also deal with a bunch of non english languages.
The offline AI that I tried a few months ago probably needed training on the noise environment to get decent results. I forget which ones I tried but likely the ones with extensions already in Oobabooga Textgen. I was messing with text to speech mostly, but some of the ones that do TTS also have packages and examples for STT. Nothing I tried for offline generation was good enough to speak as an AI prompt without manual corrections.
Did you try whisper?
