What it does

Phone Whisper is a push-to-talk dictation app for Android. Tap the floating button, speak, tap again, and your text is inserted into the focused field. It works with your existing keyboard, supports local or cloud transcription, and can optionally clean up the transcript before insertion.

Phone Whisper lets you speak into most apps without switching keyboards. Tap the floating button, speak, and your text is inserted when the app exposes a standard Android input field. Local or cloud transcription.

On-device using local models, or sent to OpenAI Whisper with your own API key. The transcribed text goes into the currently focused field when the app exposes a standard Android input field. If insertion fails, it falls back to…from kafkasl.github.io

It’s open-source, local-first, and most importantly, transparent with your data. Your data is stored locally on your device, and your audio goes directly from your machine to a local provider (Whisper C++, Speaches, etc.) or your chosen…
