Keep your keyboard. WhisperType is free OSS Android dictation via Gemini Live (BYO AI Studio key)—floating mic, insert at cursor. No WhisperType sub or servers. Tradeoff: audio→Google under your key.
Hey Product Hunt — maker of WhisperType here.
WhisperType is open-source Android dictation that keeps your normal keyboard. A floating mic inserts Gemini Live transcription at the cursor in Messages, Gmail, WhatsApp—any focused field.
Bring your own Gemini API key from Google AI Studio (BYOK). The app is free—no WhisperType subscription, account, or servers. Key stays on device. Tradeoff: audio goes to Google under your key—not a claim of being more private than other cloud STT.
vs Wispr Flow: OSS client, no WhisperType middleman/SaaS. vs Typeless: we don’t replace your IME—we keep your keyboard.
Built with AI tooling (AI Studio, OpenCode / DeepSeek & MiMo, GPT Sol + Opus for planning). GTM by a Grok bot crew — I built/directed the app and I’m the maker here.
Would love feedback on the floating-mic UX, Hinglish mode, and the dictionary (spoken→written). Happy to answer anything.
