Short description

Real time translation tool for android.

Why I think this tool should be added

Most people currently do not know what privacy preserving tools to use for:

  1. Accessibility Requirements like TTS and STT.
  2. Language Translations

Adding tools like the above and others will help widen the audience for Privacy Guides and make privacy more accessible. The tool specifically works well, and is not bad on resources, especially with the newer pixels which are the current phone recommendation. The privacy policy is clear, and all processing happens on device and offline.

Great app, but there are bugs/issues that doesn’t allow you to install models when setting up the app, so it won’t work.

The initial download will get the models from GitHub, however in some regions GitHub is very slow, those who have problems of this kind can download the models separately from a computer (or in general in whatever way they prefer) and insert them manually into the app following this guide.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Seems like problems similar to some other projects that use Github Europe or OVH servers. Not sure why, but some Asian ISPs throttle OVH and Hetzner and other European providers. Is it enough to not list it? Not sure tbh. Just wanted to add this here since I couldn’t find a similar tool on the website or the forum.
