Google Launches AI Edge Eloquent Offline Dictation App On iOS

Google released AI Edge Eloquent, a dictation app focused on offline transcription using on-device models, now available on iOS. The app processes speech locally and is positioned within a market that includes tools such as Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper and Willow.

Introducing Google AI Edge Eloquent

AI Edge Eloquent allows users to generate live transcriptions after downloading Gemma-based speech recognition models. Processing is handled on-device, enabling use without an internet connection. The system removes filler words and produces cleaner text output from spoken language. This approach is designed to reduce the need for manual editing.

Refined Dictation Capabilities

The app includes options to convert transcripts into structured formats such as summaries or expanded text. Users can adjust output depending on use cases, including notes, documents or reports. These features support workflows that require quick conversion of speech into usable text. Output is formatted for immediate use.

Customizable And Robust Features

Users can switch between local processing and cloud-based enhancement. When cloud mode is enabled, Gemini models are used to further refine transcription results. Customization options include keyword lists and imported terminology, supporting more accurate transcription in specific contexts.

Deep Integration And Enhanced Usability

The app stores transcription history and allows users to search previous sessions. It also provides basic analytics such as word count and speaking speed. Interface design focuses on continuous dictation and quick access to stored content. Navigation is structured for efficiency.

Future Prospects And Market Impact

AI Edge Eloquent is currently limited to iOS, with indications of a future Android release. Planned features may include deeper system integration, such as keyboard-level functionality. Expansion would place Google more directly within the AI transcription market, where multiple tools already offer similar capabilities.

Google Sets New Android App Rules To Cut Memory Use

by News Editor

August 28, 2026

Google is introducing new quality requirements for Android apps as developers face tighter constraints on device memory and broader hardware supply pressures.

The company announced two new requirements this week. One focuses on reducing apps’ memory use and improving code efficiency, while the other requires apps to restore users’ sign-in status when they move to a new Android device.

Google Sets New Memory Performance Rules

Google said the mobile industry is facing “significant hardware supply constraints that are altering device memory availability,” which could affect app performance and the user experience.

Under the new rules, developers will need to meet thresholds covering areas including dynamic memory and bitmap usage. Additional code optimisation requirements are designed to reduce slowdowns and crashes linked to excessive resource use.

Google is also rolling out tools that alert developers when their apps exceed the new limits. More diagnostic features are planned later this year, including deeper analysis through Android’s Memory Limiter, which restricts excessive memory use.

Developers have until February 2027 to comply with the new standards, according to Google’s Android Developer documentation.

Zero-Tap Sign-In Requirement Starts In 2027

A separate requirement will apply to all apps distributed through Google Play. By April 2027, apps that use optional or mandatory sign-ins must automatically restore a user’s sign-in state when they move between Android devices.

The feature will rely on Android’s Restore Credentials API, which is designed to transfer sign-in credentials during device migration without requiring users to log in again.

Google said the new standards are intended to help developers maintain app performance and simplify device transitions as device specifications and memory availability change.
