Hi everyone this is my first post on here. I saw my other app called BeauTyXT posted here so I wondered why not post my newest app here.
You're viewing a single thread.
Very cool, and +1 for accrescent, although an fdroid or izzy release would be nice. How does it compare to sayboard? https://github.com/ElishaAz/Sayboard
Thanks, an F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid release isn't planned at the moment. Sayboard uses the Vosk model and because of that it can have almost real time transcription. It also has a punctuation keyboard integrated within. But Transcribro has better accuracy, punctuation, and capitalization as it uses OpenAI's Whisper model. While Transcribro isn't real time, it will compute very fast after it stops detecting speech (which takes a few seconds due to not wanting to stop early) or press the mic toggle to stop it yourself. On shorter stuff on my Pixel 7 it can take less than two seconds. There are many more differences and I'd suggest trying it out yourself to see exactly.
I'm not downloading yet another appstore just to get this app. There are a billion field-tested stores out there. Starting with the GPlaystore. It's beyond me why the customer is not allowed to freely choose where to get it. I already have 3 appstores on my phone. I'm not getting a forth one.
Yet another appstore... I just want to get the app. I don't care about what stupid repository the developer prefers. This is getting out of hand. Definitely not downloading another appstore just to get this app.
Hi, you don't need to download another app store to get Transcribro. Accrescent is not required, just recommended (because of its security properties and optional auto updates). If you read the download section, it clearly states that Transcribro is also available on GitHub releases. You could use something like Obtanium if you want to get it from GitHub releases with auto updates, or just install the apk. You don't have to use any app store 😄
That's great but this is Android. I don't want to install random apks from Github. Google, Fdroid and Izzy are trusted stores that people have been using for decades. Sure, there are better stores and newer technologies. It's great when apps distribute over these stores to. But why artificially remove options? Shouldn't it be up to the customer (and their threat model)? Afterall, I'm getting the app from the store and not the store for the app.
I understand. I'm not fond of the three options you presented.
