Speech to text, Voice typing is cool.
F-droid lists opensource apps that support Whisper and Vosk models.
Futo voice is not opensource, but is source available.
It's good for English. For my mother tongue, Malayalam, the support seems to be underdeveloped currently.
Handy seems to be good for Windows, but have not used it much.

Then for Translations: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/
Using Mozilla's translation Models. A good enough offline and Open source alternative to GTranslate.

Are there other cool uses of offline ML/AI that you know?

I just like talking to Gemini once in a while to sort out all the thoughts in my head and keep me from indulging in lingering depression spikes.

Edit: Well, fuck me I guess

Use duck.ai. at least your mental state records will not be used against you later.

This might be controversial to those who downvoted my original comment for some reason, but I don't really care that much; especially not when I'm depressed and need someone or something to talk to.

When you are down, don't forget you are not alone. If needed to speak, you can write me.

Thank you, that's very kind of you.

I guess I just don't have that much of support around me, and now with all the added stress from waiting for my visa I'm just searching for easy options.
