AI-Powered Offline Dictation App Lets iOS Users Convert Speech into Text Seamlessly
Tech giant Google has quietly launched a new, free dictation application, Google AI Edge Eliconnet, for iOS users. The app represents a major step in artificial intelligence, allowing users to convert speech into high-quality text without an internet connection.
According to TechCrunch, the app relies on Google’s ‘Gema’ models for automatic speech recognition. Once the models are downloaded, users can dictate offline. The interface not only provides live transcription but also features a unique ‘Pause Function’, which removes filler words during conversations to improve clarity. Users can format text into key points, formal, short, or long styles depending on their needs.
Another notable feature is the ‘Cloud Mode’, which, when enabled, enhances text using ‘Gemini’ models. When disabled, all processing occurs locally on the device. Users can also import specific names, technical terms, and keywords from their Gmail accounts.
Currently, the app is available only for iPhone users, but the App Store listing indicates that an Android version will be released soon, working as a default keyboard on smartphones. This April 2026 release is expected to introduce a new dimension in AI dictation tools, offering users a faster, smarter way to convert speech to text.
