Editor's Overview

Voxscribe - Offline Voice Input is a keyboard & ime application developed by y20k, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.0 weighing in at 21.54 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 21.54 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "y20k" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Voxscribe is an offline voice-input keyboard (input method) for Android. Hold the mic button to record; your speech is transcribed entirely on-device with whisper.cpp using a Whisper model file you supply yourself, and the result is written into the focused text field.

Voxscribe is free software. It is published under the MIT open-source license. Voxscribe uses whisper.cpp for on-device transcription, which is also free software published under the MIT license.

SETUP

Voxscribe does not ship a speech model. You download one yourself and point the app at it.


  1. Download a Whisper model file in GGML format from the Hugging Face repository ggerganov/whisper.cpp: https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main

    Recommended files:

    • ggml-base-q5_1.bin (~60 MB), the recommended default

    • ggml-small-q5_1.bin (~190 MB), better quality but slower

    • ggml-tiny-q5_1.bin (~32 MB), for older or weak devices


    Use a multilingual model only. The .en (English-only) variants break both language modes.

  2. Open Voxscribe, tap "Model file", and pick the file you downloaded.

  3. Under "Setup", tap "Enable Voxscribe keyboard" and turn Voxscribe on in the system keyboard settings.

  4. Under "Setup", tap "Microphone permission" and allow recording. You can also grant it the first time you hold the mic button.

  5. In any text field, switch to Voxscribe with the keyboard's mic button or the system input-method switcher, then hold the mic button to record and release to insert the transcript.



FEATURES


  • Offline, on-device transcription, so nothing leaves your phone

  • Push-to-talk: hold to record, release to transcribe

  • Two favourite languages to switch between on the panel, or automatic language detection

  • Light and dark themes, plus Material You dynamic colors



A WORD ON PRIVACY

Voxscribe works entirely on your device. Your speech is recorded while you hold the mic button, transcribed locally by whisper.cpp. There is no web service behind Voxscribe. The Whisper model stays wherever you saved it. The only permission Voxscribe requests is microphone access, needed to record your voice. Voxscribe does not hold the INTERNET permission. It cannot transmit data.
