Polished Recognition

Voice input for any keyboard — transcribe with your own API endpoints

Georg Graf System

Description

Polished Recognition is an Android voice input service that works with any keyboard — Gboard, AnySoftKeyboard, Samsung Keyboard, and more.

Instead of relying on a fixed speech provider, you configure your own OpenAI-compatible endpoints:

STT (Speech-to-Text): Point to any Whisper-compatible API (Groq, OpenAI, self-hosted, etc.)
LLM (Language Model): Optionally post-process transcriptions through any chat-compatible model
Custom prompts: Edit system, user, and translation prompts directly in Settings
Privacy-first: No analytics, no tracking, no proprietary SDKs. All data flows directly between your device and your chosen endpoints.

Simply select "Polished Recognition" as your system's voice input provider, tap the microphone on any keyboard, and start speaking.

Permissions:
• RECORD_AUDIO — required to capture microphone input
• INTERNET — required to send audio to your configured STT/LLM endpoints
