Note taking, reading and translating with offline Speech to Text, Text to Speech and Machine Translator.
Speech Note let you take, read and translate notes in multiple languages. It uses Speech to Text, Text to Speech and Machine Translation to do so. Text and voice processing take place entirely offline, locally on your phone, without using a network connection.
Your privacy is always respected. No data is sent to the Internet!
Speech Note uses many different processing engines to do its job. Currently these are used:
Speech Note supports extensive number of language models. Some of them give very good accuracy, but some are not perfect. All models can be downloaded directly from the app.
A detailed list of supported languages is here.
If you are looking for similar app but for Linux Desktop you should check Speech Note available on Flathub (video demo).
Limitations:
Any comments, ideas, translations, issue reports are highly appreciated.
Translations (both Speech Note and Speech Keyboard):
All translations are very welcome. There are three ways to contribute:
- [preferred] Transifex project
- Direct github pull request or gitlab merge request
- Translation file sent to me via e-mail: dsnote@mkiol.net

I upgraded to last version and it seems it is quite faster than before.but still quite many typos and one new thing - sometimes in written text appears this [unk]

What exact Speech to Text model you are testing?
Just a general remark from my observations. Sadly, STT works fine only for English right now. For any other language Whisper provides decent accuracy but it is also veeery slow :/

So I solved it finally - I installed back version 1.8.0 and keyboard 1.3.0 and it works flawlessly again. Model Commodoro CS.

And whisper small, but i tested all of them and it seemed +- the same on all of them. Maybe you could obtain that old one used in 1.6-1.8 as another one for testing purposes?

Actually I don't think that any Whisper models is usable on ARM32. The smallest is 'Tiny' and it might work but will be very slow. Whisper has any value only on ARM64 :/

I can´t help myself, but older version (some 1.6 - 1.8 perhaps, on sfos 3.4.0.24) worked much better for me. It recognized much faster and much better, almost without typos, what I said, it wrote. Nothing more, nothing less. This new version 3 seems to me slower and making more typos.

What model do you test and on what device?
I have to admit I've also noticed a performace reggression on ARM32 with DeepSpeech/Coqui models.

I took measurements and you were perfectly right. Speech Note v2.x uses new Coqui STT lib which has much worse performance comparing to old one. On Xperia 10 (ARM32) it 2x slower! I don't know why I missed it.

It works. Anyway to add cantonese?

According this, Cantonese should work decently on Whisper 'Medium' model. Unfortunately 'Medium' model is disabled on SFOS version because phone's CPU is too week to handle processing (BTW, If you are Linux user, I recommend you to check Speech Note for desktop).
I made a test with 'Base' model and it looks that it can transcribe also to Cantonese but honestly can't say anything about accuracy. Did you try Whisper 'Base' model with Cantonese speech? What was the result?

I think it works for Taiwanese Mandarin but propably not Cantonese. I may be mistaken. Just uploaded new version, so you can verify it by your self. Please try Whisper Base model.

Regarding STT, It looks like only Whisper model produces text in tranditional script but... Whisper for Chinese doesn't work right now at all because of the bug in the code. I've discovered this bug when I tried to answer your question, so big Thank You :) I will fix it in the upcoming release (in 2 days).
TTS Piper model reads chinese regardles of the script. It accepts traditional and simplified.

Can't find Norwegian download in settings.

Unfortunately Norwegian is provided only by Whisper model and all Whisper models are disabled on ARM7 devices (like Jolla C). Whisper requires a lot of computation power and this old CPU can't handle it. Sorry.

On which device you are installing? This package should be available on SFOS 4.4 as well.
At least it is available on Jolla C:

It's Xperia 10 Plus.
Perhaps this issue only applies to aarch64.

Re 1.6.1 patchnotes:
just tested this wonderful app out for a while and "Deutsch (Aashish Agarwal)" seems very inferior to "Deutsch (Jaco)". tried some normal conversation aswell as nicely read out sentences using my xa2 for both and alot more words just got completly garbled or left out with "Aashish Agarwal".

Thank you so much for the feedback. Would you be able to evaluate "Deutsch (med)" as well? This model is available in version 1.8.0.

so im no doctor or anything but i tested "med" a bit using some medical vocabulary and excerpts from german medical journals. "jaco" always gets more in general from sentences. for the medical terms they miss words or get them wrong regularly but "jaco" gets closer in my experience by doing *something* instead of nothing in some cases.
all in all german deepspeech is obviously nowhere near english but its not bad for normal people conversation

Real nice work! The app is really cool. Is there any option to customize the vocabulary (i would need german medical language with drug recognition and medical vocabulary... is there maybe a file i can download or buy? If not... That would be an awesome new feature if i could add new vocabulary myself :-)
