Google Launches Offline AI Dictation App to Compete in Speech-to-Text Race

[nihalsari]

Google has quietly introduced a new iOS app called Google AI Edge Eloquent, an offline-first dictation tool designed to convert speech into polished text. Powered by on-device AI models, the app allows users to dictate without an internet connection, offering real-time transcription while automatically removing filler words like “um” and “ah” for cleaner output.

Beyond basic transcription, the app includes smart editing features such as summarization (“Key points”), tone adjustments (“Formal”), and length controls (“Short” or “Long”). Users can also customize vocabulary and even integrate terms from Gmail for more accurate recognition. While still in early stages, the app reflects a growing trend toward AI-powered, privacy-friendly tools—and could signal deeper integration of advanced dictation features across mobile platforms in the future.
