- What it is
- The developer's own page for Marmalade STT, a free, open-source Android voice-typing app that recognizes speech on the phone with downloaded open speech models. It states the offline behavior, the privacy stance and the supported languages.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the developer of an open-source project, so the claims describe the app as the developer intends it. The page gives no test results for them. The privacy policy it links was not read for this research.
