Summary

Google has launched an experimental iOS app titled 'Google AI Edge Eloquent', designed as an offline-first dictation tool. Utilizing Gemma-based speech recognition, the app converts spoken words into polished text by removing filler words and offering various formatting options. While it features a cloud mode using Gemini models, it primarily emphasizes local processing for privacy. The app also allows users to import custom keywords from Gmail and provides metrics on transcription speed. Although currently exclusive to iOS, the App Store listing suggests a future Android integration.
