Worth knowing
Google AI Edge Eloquent

- On iOS it is a standalone app that copies text to the clipboard; the App Store listing says a keyboard is coming soon.
- Some advanced optional features require the cloud, according to the App Store listing.
Superwhisper
- AI-powered modes, cloud voice models, file transcription and speaker separation all need Pro.
- The Free plan is limited to 2 modes, and those run without AI processing.
- Cloud voice models send audio to hosted servers; only the local models keep audio on the device.
- A Linux version is listed as coming soon and is not yet available.
Key features
Google AI Edge Eloquent
- On-device transcription
- Speech-to-text runs on open-weight, Gemma-based models on the device, so dictation works without a server connection and audio stays local.
- Automatic text polish
- Removes filler such as "um" and "uh" along with mid-sentence self-corrections, and outputs the sentence you meant instead of a verbatim transcript.
- Text styles
- Google's product page says the app can turn what you dictate into different text styles, in addition to the standard cleaned-up output.
- Personal dictionary
- Builds an editable vocabulary list from the words you use. You can optionally connect a Google account so terms from data such as Gmail are added, processed on the device.
- Clipboard workflow on iOS
- On iPhone and iPad it runs as a standalone app: you speak, the cleaned-up text is copied to the clipboard automatically, and you paste it where it is needed.
Superwhisper
- Dictation in any app
- Speak and have the text typed into whatever app is in front of you, such as Slack, Gmail, Notion or a code editor. More than 100 languages and dialects are supported.
- Local models that work offline
- Whisper models run entirely on your device and are free to use without limits, so dictation works with no connection and audio is not uploaded.
- Cloud voice models on Pro
- Pro adds hosted voice models such as S1-Voice, Nova and Scribe, along with real-time transcription. With these models audio is sent to hosted servers.
- Modes
- A mode sets how speech is processed, from plain transcription to AI modes that rewrite it for a context such as email. Free allows 2 modes without AI; Pro is unlimited.
- Meetings and file transcription
- Records meetings and produces notes, and Pro adds system audio recording, speaker separation and transcription of audio or video files.
- Custom vocabulary
- Add names and terms the models tend to get wrong, plus text replacements. Both are included on the Free plan.
