Google’s new free AI app converts speech to text instantly, even without internet

Artificial intelligence is now shifting towards more private and efficient on-device experiences. In a quiet move, Google has launched a new AI-powered dictation app for iPhone users that works even without an internet connection.

The app, called Google AI Edge Eloquent, signals a shift in how AI tools are being built focusing less on cloud processing and more on local, offline capabilities. This approach not only improves speed but also enhances privacy, as user data does not always need to be sent to remote servers.
