This post was written by voice input through the #Futo keyboard which uses #whisper. Free, open source and local - no internet connection! Seems to work very well for English and quite good for German too. I only had to add hashtags and correct two words manually.

Important addition: I was motivated to look for a solution for a friend who has multiple sclerosis, and it makes typing really hard for him. His messages are already longer and more detailed :)

@douginamug I also recommend: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.woheller69.whisper

No keyboard, just the speech-to-text part, all local and open source.

@julien that's also nice. Can you use it as input for other apps?

@douginamug Any app that has text input works.

@julien ah nice, good rec for people otherwise content with their keyboard.

(Futo keyboard introduces some really cool features quite intuitively, not that I was looking for them.)
