Update (April 7, 10:30 p.m. PT): The company has updated its app store listing and removed references to the Android app. He also added that an iOS keyboard is coming soon.
On Monday, Google quietly introduced an offline-first spelling app Google AI Edge Eloquent on iOS take someone over Wispr stream, SuperWhisper, Willowand others.
The app is free to download, and once its Gemma-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) models are loaded, you can start dictating on your phone. In the app, you can view a live transcription, and when you hit pause, the app automatically filters out filler words like “um” and “ah” and polishes the text.
Below the transcript, there are options to convert text such as “Key Points”, “Formal”, “Short” and “Long”.
You can also turn off cloud mode to use local processing only. (When cloud mode is enabled, the app uses cloud-based Gemini models for text cleaning.) Google AI Edge Eloquent can import certain keywords, names, and jargon from your Gmail account if you want. Plus, you can add your own custom words to the list.
The app displays the transcription session history and allows you to search through all of them. It can show you the words dictated in the last session, the rate of words per minute and the total number of words spoken.
“Google AI Edge Eloquent is an advanced dictation software designed to bridge the gap between natural speech and professional, ready-to-use text. Unlike standard dictation software that transcribes stumbling blocks and filler words verbatim, Eloquent uses artificial intelligence to capture intended meaning. It automatically edits ‘ums’, ‘self’ or audio recordings to produce clean, accurate prose,” reads the company’s App Store description.
Although the app is currently only available on iOS, the App Store description refers to an Android version. (We’ve reached out to Google for more information and will update the story if we hear back.)
According to the description, Eloquent offers “seamless Android integration” where users can set any text field as their default keyboard to access the system. In addition, the application will be able to use the floating button function, Similar to what Wispr Flow uses on Androidfor easy access to the transcription from anywhere.
It is transcription software powered by artificial intelligence is gaining popularity among users as speech-to-text models improve. With this experimental program, Google is joining this trend. If this test is successful, we may see improved transcription features on Android as well.
