Outspoke is a free and open-source speech-to-text keyboard for Android.

All transcription happens entirely on your device using the NVIDIA Parakeet ASR model via ONNX Runtime - no audio ever leaves your phone, no account required, and no internet connection is needed after the model is downloaded.

Features

Fully on-device inference - completely private
Works as a standard Android Input Method (IME) in any app
Downloads the model once over Wi-Fi; works offline afterwards
No Google Play Services, Firebase, or any third-party telemetry
Minimal permissions: microphone, notifications, foreground service

Requirements

Android 11 (API 30) or higher
~700 MB free storage for the model file

Open Source Outspoke is licensed under GPL-3.0 license. Source code and build instructions are available on GitHub.

WhatsNew:

Seventh patch (v0.2.4).

Reduced first-word hallucinations: a cold-stride confidence gate suppresses low-confidence Parakeet outputs on the first partial, so room-tone and ambient-noise artefacts are far less likely to appear as ghost words.

Memory-pressure resilience: the keyboard now cooperatively unloads the ~700 MB ASR model when the OS signals low memory, and reloads it on the next keyboard open. This prevents OOM kills during app switches while keeping the model warm for brief interruptio

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ Depends on HugginFace to download models.

Download Metadata Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
