- What it is
- The README of ElishaAz's Sayboard repository, an open-source Android voice keyboard built on the Vosk speech library. It describes the app as on-device and says it does not send any of your information over the internet.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the maker in the project's own README, so it states what the maker claims for the app. It covers the Android keyboard only and says nothing about offline use, AI, vocabulary or voice commands. It is a README, not a product page, and it gives no version or release date.
