Additional, their is no way to just keep the original transcript, only polished, which is just dumb as some transcripts are already cleaned from the source and don’t need any “Polish” Let us keep the original, and only polish if needed. Make it a setting or something. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version, there is a one-time download for an improved local model which requires internet connection. Once that is completed, dictation for all languages should work fully offline. Some advanced features like text styles and polish for non-English languages may still require an internet connection. To address your concern, we have also added a new tab for original transcript. This should also be available on the history page for all your past dictations. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any further issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 2/5 — Dark mode *2026-07-11* The app lacks accessibility by not having the option for dark mode, also very difficult to find and sign in. Needs improvements ### 4/5 — Amazing free dictation app. Needs dark mode! *2026-07-01* I thought I'd use the dictation features in the app to write a quick review. This is good as whisper flow. It doesn't have the integration yet, but this app is amazing. The biggest weakness right now is it doesn't have dark mode. Also, it seems like for people with newer phones, it would be nice if they added the ability to have offline mode and actually download a small model to your phone, so that way you could use the other features when you're in offline mode. That seems like a big win. But this app is amazing and it is right there and easy to use, even in offline fly mode, it does a great job. Cleans up your speech. I highly recommend it. Just hope they had dark mode soon because Dark mode is much better. Dictated this at over 200 WPM! ### 3/5 — Phenomenal when it works *2026-06-24* This app is awesome when it works and does exactly what it says but unfortunately there have been multiple times where I will give a two minute brain dump looking for a nice transcript and then it just does not return anything and I have to to try a couple times and by that point it would just be faster to type it myself ### 5/5 — A great way to increase productivity *2026-06-19* This is a really great app, and it seems like the developers are actively looking at the reviews and creating solutions. For example, there is now a native Mac app that works particularly well. Syncing of the dictionary via my Google login would be appreciated. While I agree with other reviewers that a keyboard version would be fantastic to reduce friction, I think that's more of a restriction on how keyboard apps are allowed to be built in the iOS ecosystem. The app is fast and has nice UX touches. As an example, when a recording is done, it automatically copies the text to the clipboard, so you can switch apps and paste the output straight in. One area of improvement might be looking at the live transcription, specifically the ability to pause and manually edit and fix something. It would be nice to have some level of manual control over editing when paused, before the polishing happens. Polishing happens as you press the stop button in this app. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. It seems like an extremely powerful tool that is available free of charge. ### 2/5 — Only English for now *2026-06-03* It needs to expand to other languages like Hindi, hinglish, etc. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version 1.4.1, dictation support is expanded to more than a dozen languages including Hindi. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 5/5 — Incredibly accurate, even with quiet speech *2026-05-26* I’m genuinely impressed with Google AI Edge Eloquent. The speech detection is excellent — it can pick up my voice clearly even when I speak very softly or almost whisper, then insert the words into the app quickly and accurately. Dictation feels natural, smooth, and reliable, without the usual frustration of repeating myself. It is very useful for writing notes, messages, and longer text by voice. A simple, powerful, and highly recommended app. ### 2/5 — Many necessary features missing *2026-05-17* No dark mode, no keyboard integration, no categorisation. ### 3/5 — Ok I guess *2026-05-12, version 1.3.0* I suppose this is good for transcribing your thoughts but without being able to use as a keyboard, I don’t really see much use for it. ### 5/5 — Can’t wait for this to expand to more places *2026-05-11* This is incredible value for money. I m using voice to text WAY more than I used to now. I especially like the post processing of the text. My only issue is that it is only available on iOS currently. A native MacOS app would be killer and would improve my efficiency even more as right now the only pain point is having to grab my phone, unlock it, open the app, etc. Still already improves my efficiency as is though so gets 5 stars from me. ### 5/5 — Awesome Tool *2026-05-10* Very useful, good for thought dumping ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — do not update *2026-08-20* For the old version, it could dictate without any internet connection. But this version, network connection is required when opening the application. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version, there is a one-time model download which requires internet connection. Once that is completed, dictation for all languages should work fully offline. Some advanced features like text styles and polish for non-English languages may still require an internet connection. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any further issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 1/5 — Regressed in functionality 8/26 *2026-08-18* You guys really screwed up this app by removing the automatic copy to clipboard after transcribing. You’ve added extra steps which make the app less helpful. Either return the functionality or make it configurable. And, the new interface is a step back too. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Auto-copy to clipboard is available in the latest version 1.4.1. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any further issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 1/5 — Awesome, but mic broken! *2026-08-13* This used to work perfectly but now you have to have headphones on for it to work for some reason. I can’t just use the regular microphone when you’re speaking into your phone so frustrating because a lot of time I just wanna pick up the phone and talk into it but then I gotta put my headphones on. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version 1.4.1, microphone auto-detection is improved and manual selection is also available in the settings. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any further issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 1/5 — Big No *2026-08-09* It doesn’t understand all languages. ( Clients doesn’t only talk in English.) They speak different languages **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In the latest version 1.4.1, dictation support is expanded to more than a dozen languages including Hindi. Please let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. ### 1/5 — Expected way better from Google *2026-07-15* Lost transcripts. App freezes can’t get to my transcripts. Minutes ai is way better. ### 1/5 — 日本語認識できる？ *2026-06-05* 日本語認識できないんだけど誰かやり方知ってる？ **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’ve released a major new update in v1.4.1 with better dictation support for more than a dozen languages including Japanese. Please try it out and let us know at ai-edge-support@google.com if you face any further issues. Thank you for using Google AI Edge Eloquent. フィードバックをお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます。バージョン 1.4.1 にて大幅なアップデートを行い、日本語を含む十数言語での音声入力（ディクテーション）への対応を強化しました。ぜひお試しいただき、万が一問題などがございましたら ai-edge-support@google.com までお知らせください。Google AI Edge Eloquent をご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございます。 ### 1/5 — Slurps your mobile data quota without notice *2026-06-04* Downloads gigs without asking permission. Ignores low data setting on mobile hotspot. This should be immediately banned from the App Store ### 1/5 — Good Concept, Poor Delivery *2026-05-27* The transcriptions don’t work. Period. ### 1/5 — Kindly improve the application *2026-05-16* Currently the application not working properly specifically voice note not recording issues ### 1/5 — Keyboard integration *2026-04-17* This is of no use without the keyboard integration. When is it coming? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love that it’s free for real! Thanks for the languages *2026-08-19* This is such a well designed and feature rich app that it’s hard to believe it’s free! It sounded too good to be true but I’ve been using it for months and there is absolutely no paywall. I’ve seen it functioning well even where is no WiFi or network connection which is fantastic and I buy that it is truly private! I love the latest update adding more languages especially Spanish. Thanks Google! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app to help me on daily logging *2026-08-17* I have a habit to log my daily life for years, but due to time constraints and input method limitations, I only log my day before sleep or during weekends. Sometime, I cannot recall every important things that I want to keep in my written memory. This app is a big help that I can try to record my day by speaking from time to time throughout the day, and later dump the logs to my notebook. Glad to have this app, so convenient to record my day without typing. ### 5/5 — Can't believe there's only 2 reviews *2026-08-17* This app is excellent. I can’t believe there are only two reviews on it. It’s free, lightweight, and works well with Paul Mode all the time for emails, making sure I’m sending messages with no errors. ### 5/5 — Waiting for Bengali language support *2026-08-13* Eagerly waiting for Bengali language support. ### 5/5 — Performance *2026-08-13* Now after addion of languages this app is truly useful ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-07-23* Between this and Codex and I have drastically reduced how much typing I do. I’ve been caring for a newborn and dictation has allowed me to be much more productive than I thought I would be. ### 5/5 — Not working anymore *2026-07-16* This was the best voice recording app, but the mic has stopped working with the latest version. ### 5/5 — Really good functionality *2026-06-22* I am still learning English and have errors in my grammar or spellings. Eloquent really does a great job fixing these issues. This makes my communication with English speaking clients very smooth. Thanks Google! ### 5/5 — Found great value *2026-06-22* I am very impressed that Google offers such a high quality dictation app for free! I have really formed a regular habit of using voice now to reply to my emails messages and whatsapp. Waiting for more languages support ### 5/5 — Richard G *2026-06-21* Amazing that something this good is free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
