Hi everyone!
Google is entering the AI dictation space with AI Edge Eloquent, directly taking on tools like @superwhisper @Willow Voice or @Wispr Flow .
It is powered by Gemma-based on-device ASR models to automatically filter out filler words, "ums," and mid-sentence self-corrections. The interesting part here is the flexibility it gives you: you can keep everything local on-device for privacy, or you can toggle on cloud mode to let Gemini handle the text cleanup for much higher accuracy and formatting.
It is completely free, offline-first, and can even pull custom vocabulary from your Gmail. Have been looking for a solid local dictation workflow? This is definitely worth testing out.

I really like it, but they'll need to enable Keyboard setting on it like Wispr Flow and Typeless so we could use it from within the specifics apps vs having to copy/paste. Not fully baked yet, feels rushed. But offline is a great move.
Offline-first is the right call for any docs with sensitive context. How does accuracy compare to cloud Whisper?

I like the idea of edge computing. Unfortunately, according to my tests, it has a way to go to the Whisper capacity and is closer to Siri (which understood me exactly six times since 2016). Not only does it not understand me, but it also ignores its own dictionary.
The filler word removal happening on-device is the interesting part — that's not just STT, that's a language model doing post-processing locally. What's the latency like between finishing a sentence and seeing the cleaned output? If there's a 3-5 second gap every time, that breaks the flow pretty fast.
