  • Screenshots would be nice I suppose, yeah. A walkthrough/instructions are sort of included in the app in the Start screen, at least enough to get stuff enabled. I think the keyboard UI is pretty easy to understand, and the buttons are large and there is no wasted space which is nice for accessibility. At this time there aren’t any plans to publish it on F-Droid. However, Accrescent is the recommended way to get it as Accrescent provides automatic updates (which can be turned off if you’d prefer) and has higher security than GitHub and F-Droid. It’s available on GitHub releases too.


  • Thanks, an F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid release isn’t planned at the moment. Sayboard uses the Vosk model and because of that it can have almost real time transcription. It also has a punctuation keyboard integrated within. But Transcribro has better accuracy, punctuation, and capitalization as it uses OpenAI’s Whisper model. While Transcribro isn’t real time, it will compute very fast after it stops detecting speech (which takes a few seconds due to not wanting to stop early) or press the mic toggle to stop it yourself. On shorter stuff on my Pixel 7 it can take less than two seconds. There are many more differences and I’d suggest trying it out yourself to see exactly.


  • FUTO keyboard seems pretty cool! By default it switches to an enabled voice input keyboard when you press the microphone button, so you can actually use Transcribro with FUTO’s keyboard! Better together! Of course perhaps you like their voice input or another voice input more. But it’s good that they give you an option rather than being limited to only theirs! Transcribro might be a better option for you if you like how it has more buttons and some unique features compared to FUTO’s. It’s also around the same speed and accuracy as they both use the same underlying model. So give it a try and let me know!
