Update (April 7, 2017) 10:30 PM PT): The company has updated its App Store listing and removed references to the Android app. But she also added that an iOS keyboard will be available soon.
Google on Monday quietly released its first offline dictation app called “Google AI Edge Eloquent” on iOS To take on parables Flow Whisper, SuperWhisper, Willowet al.
The app is free to download, and once you download the Gemma-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, you can start dictating on your phone. In the app, you can see the live transcription, and when you hit pause, the app automatically filters out filler words like “um” and “ah” and polishes the text.
Below the text there are options such as “Main Points”, “Formal”, “Short”, and “Long” for converting the text.
You can also turn off cloud mode to use only local processing. (When cloud mode is on, the app uses Gemini’s cloud-based models to clean up text.) Google AI Edge Eloquent can import specific keywords, names, and terms from your Gmail account, if desired. Additionally, you can add your own custom words to the list.
The app displays your copy session history and lets you search through all of them as well. It can show you the words dictated in the last session, the speed of words per minute, and the total number of words spoken.
“Google AI Edge Eloquent is an advanced dictation app designed to bridge the gap between natural speech and professional, off-the-shelf text. Unlike standard dictation software that transcribes stumbled words and filler words verbatim, Eloquent uses AI to capture intended meaning. It automatically edits out ‘ums’, ‘uhs’ and ‘mid-sentence’ self-corrections, and produces clear, precise prose,” the company’s App Store description says.
Although the app is currently only available on iOS, the App Store description mentions an Android version. (We’ve reached out to Google for more information and will update the story if we hear back.)
According to the description, Eloquent offers “seamless integration with Android,” where it can be set as a virtual keyboard for users to access system-level via any text field. In addition, the application will be able to use the floating button feature, Similar to the one used by Wispr Flow on AndroidFor easy access to copies from anywhere.
AI-powered transcription applications are Gaining popularity among users As speech-to-text conversion models improve. With this demo app Google is joining this trend. If this test is successful, we could see improved transcription features across Android as well.
