Google Launches Eloquent, an Offline-First AI Dictation App for iOS

The experimental app centers on on-device speech-to-text with optional cloud polishing.

Overview

  • Google, which released the free Eloquent app Monday, brings offline-first voice dictation to iOS with no subscriptions or usage caps.
  • On-device Gemma speech recognition transcribes live and removes filler words, with one-tap rewrites like Key points, Formal, Short, or Long.
  • A toggle turns on Gemini cloud processing for extra text cleanup or keeps everything offline to store audio and transcripts only on the phone.
  • When you stop recording, the app cleans the text and copies it to the clipboard, and it provides searchable history, usage stats, and a dictionaries tool.
  • The App Store cites future Android integration such as default keyboard access and a floating button, yet no Google Play listing is available.
