Offline voice input keyboard for Android using Nvidia's Parakeet v3

• fittingopposite 9mo ago
  With the remote setup of Claude Code (e.g. [1]) I can know (vibe)code from my phone. But typing has been a pain. Didn't find a great speech to text app for Android featuring Nvidia's Parakeet v3, which is the (?) leading STT model. Found this repo. It's working flawlessly. Checked it with adb (I am always a bit suspicious). And it's really fully local. Highly recommend :) [1] https://github.com/rberg27/doom-coding https://github.com/rberg27/doom-coding

    I had not heard of Parakeet until earlier today with Handy [1]. I've previously had good luck with FUTO's keyboard and it's companion voice input app [2] on my Android, both of which are local-only after downloading the model. I'll have to try this one out and compare them. [1] https://handy.computer/ https://handy.computer/ [2] https://voiceinput.futo.org/ https://voiceinput.futo.org/

      Interesting. Du you know which model they use? Yeah would be curious to hear your experience comparing them.

        From their repo, it looks like OpenAI Whisper? Language support FUTO Voice Input is currently based on the OpenAI Whisper model, and could theoretically support all of the languages that OpenAI Whisper supports. However, in practice, the smaller models tend to not perform too good with languages that had fewer training hours. To avoid presenting something worse than nothing, only languages with more than 1,000 training hours are included as options in the UI: <List of supported languages> Language support and accuracy may expand in the future with better optimization and fine-tuned models. Feedback is welcomed about language-related issues or general language accuracy.
