Google has launched a free offline dictation app called Google AI Edge Eloquent on iOS. Users can download speech recognition models to enable offline dictation, real-time transcription, and automatic text polishing. The app supports both cloud mode and local processing, and users can import and manually add keywords, as well as record dictation history. Currently, it is only available on iOS, with an Android version planned for future release.

Abstract generation in progress

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Google has listed a free dictation app on iOS called Google AI Edge Eloquent, with an emphasis on offline-first. After users download a speech recognition model based on Gemma, they can use it without a network connection. The app displays transcribed text in real time; after pausing, it automatically filters filler words such as “um” and “uh,” and polishes it into smooth written expression. At the bottom, it also offers four text rewriting options: “Key Points Extraction,” “Formal,” “Short,” and “Detailed.”

The app’s cloud mode is enabled by default. In this mode, it uses the Gemini model to clean up text; when it’s turned off, processing is handled entirely on-device. Users can import keywords such as professional terminology and people’s names from a Gmail account, or manually add a custom vocabulary. The app also records dictation history and supports search, showing the word count and speaking rate for each dictation.

At present, Eloquent is only available on iOS, but the App Store description mentions an Android version, saying it will be set as the system default keyboard and provide a floating button shortcut entry, similar to the Android version’s features of the AI dictation app Wispr Flow. Google has not yet responded to TechCrunch’s request for comment.
