WhisperType Keyboard

WhisperType is a full Android input method (IME) with a real QWERTY keyboard plus offline voice dictation.

Unlike dictation-only "keyboards" that only show a microphone button, WhisperType lets you type normally and use speech when you want.

Features:

- Full QWERTY layout with numbers, symbols, and a categorized emoji picker

- Shift / caps lock, sentence caps, double-space period, word-delete swipe

- On-device word suggestions and clipboard history

- Long-press accents and extra symbols

- Microphone key for offline on-device speech-to-text (25s warning, 30s auto-stop)

- Downloadable Whisper models: tiny.en, base.en (default), or small.en (int8)

- Import your own sherpa-onnx Whisper zip

- No API keys - audio, clipboard, and learned words stay on your device

- Free and open source (MIT)

Setup:

1. Install WhisperType

2. Enable it in system keyboard settings

3. Select it as the input method

4. Grant microphone permission

On-device recognition uses sherpa-onnx (includes ONNX Runtime). Whisper models download on demand from Hugging Face when the user chooses Download; Import works offline.
