Kõnele: A Speech-to-Text User Interface App for Android
Kõnele is an innovative app that offers speech-to-text user interfaces to other Android apps. It provides an optimized input method editor (IME) for speech input with support for modalities like swiping and buttons. The app can connect to any speech recognition service available on the device but by default uses, and is optimized for Kõnele service, a separate lightweight app whose backing server runs the kaldi-gstreamer-server software. The default server operates from Tallinn and provides Estonian speech recognition, but the software is easy to deploy elsewhere and customize for other languages.
Kõnele is designed to make typing on Android devices easier and more efficient by offering a speech recognition alternative. It provides a single button on the keyboard for speech input, which takes up less space on the screen and is often more natural and faster to use. Additionally, Kõnele supports several operations like swiping, double-tapping, and tapping on icons to switch between keyboards, select text, add spaces, and activate search. The app also includes a microphone button that is linked to the Android speech recognition activity and can be used for intelligent assistants, navigation apps, and other apps that require voice input.
