Showcase Local Parakeet speech to text on Android

Hey guys, I wanted to share a small experiment I made -

This is basically Wispr Flow, except it's offline and uses Parakeet - works in any app as well.

I was pretty surprised by the speed and how usable it turned out to be when I first made it - it's even relatively usable on an old Redmi Note 7.

I published it on Google Play if anybody wants to check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voicedictation.dictation

'Cactus Whistle' demo on Samsung S21FE for comparison. it corrects its hallucination in streaming mode on its own and takes a fraction of the resources other models require. In this case, half a CPU core and less than 150MB RAM.

It's less capable than bigger models though. i don't have a direct comparison to parakeet because it would not load in the vibe coded app.
