Anti-Vocale transcribes voice messages from popular messaging apps directly on your Android device. Share a voice note from your chat app and Anti-Vocale turns it into text on-device, so your audio never leaves your phone.
Note: Anti-Vocale is built around voice messages shared from messaging apps. Audio shared from other sources (for example a voice recorder) may use formats the app can't read yet.
No network connection, no cloud, no accounts, no tracking. AI models run locally via ONNX Runtime.
