Google has quietly rolled out a new app called Google AI Edge Eloquent. It is an AI-powered dictation tool that works offline and represents a significant step in the company’s push towards edge-based AI experiences. TechCrunch reports that the app first appeared on the Apple App Store without any major announcements, demonstrating Google’s strategy to test adoption in the niche but growing field of productivity tools. The company also aims to take on rivals like Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper, and Willow with this new dictation app. “Say goodbye to manual editing and inaccurate voice-to-text transcriptions. Google Al Edge Eloquent is an advanced dictation app designed to bridge the gap between natural speech and professional, ready-to-use text. Unlike standard dictation software that transcribes stumbles and filler words verbatim, Eloquent leverages Al to capture the user’s intended meaning. Automatically edits “um”, “um” and self-corrections in sentences, outputting clean and accurate prose. Powered by Google’s Gemma architecture, the application utilizes a highly efficient, open-weight, on-device model for responsive speech-to-text without the need for a server connection. ” says the app description.Unlike existing dictation apps that rely heavily on cloud connectivity, Eloquent is designed to run entirely on your device, resulting in faster response times and increased privacy. The app also processes audio locally, eliminating the need for constant internet access, which is useful in areas with poor connectivity.
