Google Launches Offline AI Dictation App Quietly

Google has quietly released a free offline-first dictation app called Google AI Edge Eloquent on iOS, powered by Gemma-based speech recognition models. The app transcribes speech in real time, automatically removes filler words, and offers text transformation options like formal, short, or long formats. Users can choose between local-only processing or cloud-based Gemini models for text cleanup, and can import custom keywords from Gmail. While currently iOS-only, the App Store description hints at an Android version with system-wide keyboard integration and a floating button feature.
