• Google launches new offline voice-to-text app

Google has unveiled its latest AI-powered app, Google AI Edge Eloquent, designed to convert spoken words into polished, ready-to-use text without relying on an internet connection. The app automatically edits out filler words like “um” and “ah,” delivering clean, professional text in real time.

Currently available on iOS, the app processes speech directly on the device using Google’s Gemma-based speech recognition models. Users can format their text in multiple ways—key points, formal, short, or long—and integrate Gmail contacts, keywords, and custom terms for improved accuracy.

The app also keeps session history, tracking word count and speaking speed, making it easy to review past transcriptions. An Android version is expected soon, potentially functioning as a system-wide keyboard for dictation across apps.

This launch reflects Google’s push to bring AI processing closer to users’ devices, enhancing speed, privacy, and practicality for everyday tasks.
