Sayboard

This project provides a voice keyboard using Vosk. It is based on https://github.com/Felicis/vosk-android-demo.

This app requires a Vosk model to run. You can use the built-in downloader or download manually from https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models, and then import into the app.

Note: prior to commit Multiple language support!, this repository had another gradle model named models. As it is large and not needed anymore, I removed it from git history. If you want to use any earlier commits, you can find it here.
