Pretty dope

I ve tried a bunch of whispr apps, but for some reason the mobile keyboard experience was always lacking

any time i saved with voice to text i lose whenever i try to type 3 words. Openwhsipr is first Voice to text AND a good keyboard

The best voice to text app!!

Super accurate, very easy to use, and love that I can use it for work as well !! The voice assistant is my favorite feature - highly recommend!!!

Saves so much time

This app is everything to me. Makes life so much easier

Insanely accurate

I sometimes mumble and rant and this app transcribes perfectly… would recommend for busy people

Accurate and fast dictation!

Honestly this has been great to use so far! For the dictation, I use the cloud and it’s pretty spot on! Meeting notes feature is also super useful for in person. Loving it so far!

Looking forward to trying the desktop app!

unusable

Can’t even get through the onboarding flow and install the keyboard, keyboard is not selectable and there’s no way to get to any other part of the app or skip the onboarding. Phone stayed in dictation mode and there was no way to turn it off other than uninstalling. This wasn't ready for production

No option for cloud providers

Unfortunately no option to bring my own api key. I have it setup exactly how I want on desktop so that should be an option here as well.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We have added the ability to bring your own API key and choose your preferred cloud provider now! We hope this gives you the same flexibility you have on desktop.

The app doesn’t allow me to download the local model. It gives me an error

The developers say in the description that the app is open source, but only the desktop version is open source. The mobile version is not open source, so there is no way to verify what data it sends, where it sends it, or whether any information is being sent to the cloud. Since the mobile app’s source code is not public, there is no way to independently confirm this.

Response from developer

The mobile app is now open source, so you can review how it works and how data is handled. We’re also sorry you ran into an error downloading the local model. Please update to the latest version and contact us with any details if the issue persists.

Good start

Love that this is coming to mobile, but the real killer feature for this would be using self hosted models (not on phone) like the desktop app. Perhaps unlocked by a one time payment?

i’d like to like this app, but…

I have a PhD. I was awarded that by an Ivy League school after a great deal of work. And one of the things I learned in earning that was do not rush your work to completion if it’s not complete.. So in trying to get this app operational, it literally does not go beyond step four of nine as it tells you on the upper left-hand corner of the app. There’s definitely nothing you can do after that for it to proceed. There’s no icon you can tap on. There’s no link you can tap on there is nothing.. So having used computers since they came out 40+ years ago, I am not happy with partially completed projects.. Improve this to be as good as you know you can be and I’ll be happy to revise the rating and the review.
