experiments with local whisper inference


In early-to-mid 2023 I shamelessly forked someone else’s Android keyboard, made a small UX improvement, and shipped it to the Google Play Store. The other guy proceeded to review it 5 stars. What a gigachad. That project is more than a little outdated by now, but for historical preservation’s sake, the link to repo is here. I finally got around to rebuilding the keyboard from scratch (most notably to get it to use whisper.cpp) in Kotlin and using Jetpack Compose! Now relaunched as kaiboard, link to repo is here, I might actually get around to making all the various improvements people keep asking me to make. Yay!

I’m also working on this: an offline voice journal using Whisper for all local speech transcription. As before, open source. I may unite this with Kaiboard at some point, who knows.

Also on the Play Store. Not on the App Store yet, but when I get around to throwing money at Apple, I’ll do it.
