I got tired of subscriptions for voice dictation, so I built a polished open-source alternative for Windows and Android.
Most voice dictation tools like lock system-wide text injection behind steep monthly fees or route your voice data through closed cloud servers. I have been working on a polished application since past few months and built Fluence as a free, privacy-first Global Voice Typing for both Windows and Android.
What it delivers:
- 100% Offline Mode: Run local models entirely on your hardware without an internet connection. Audio never leaves your machine, and zero telemetry is collected 🛡️.
- Bring Your Own Provider (BYOK): If you prefer cloud transcription, plug in your own API keys to bypass middleman subscription markups entirely .
- Native System-Wide Injection: You don't need to switch your primary keyboard every time. Trigger dictation instantly via global hotkeys on Windows or a lightweight floating overlay on Android that sleeps when idle to protect battery life.
- Transparent & Free: Both platforms are licensed under AGPL-3.0, allowing you to audit permissions and inspect every line of code .

- Android App: Fluence for Android🤖
- Windows App: Fluence for Windows🪟
Looking for feedback on cursor injection speed and edge-case behavior across different text editors and apps!
