Notely Voice

The GPL-3.0 F-Droid edition of Notely Voice is an Android voice transcription and note-taking app that runs Whisper on your device. It's for people capturing lectures, meetings or interviews who want to turn recordings into notes without uploading audio to a cloud service. Speech recognition works offline once you've downloaded a model.

You can dictate straight into a note or transcribe an audio recording, then edit the text in the same app. It also records voice notes and lets you play them back. Whisper handles multilingual speech, with model sizes ranging from tiny to large so you can choose a balance between model size and transcription accuracy.

The note editor supports headings, bold, italic and underlined text, plus text alignment. Folders and tags help organize a collection, while text search and filters let you find starred notes, voice notes and recent entries. You can share text or recordings through apps such as Messages, WhatsApp and Google Drive.

For long recordings, the app processes audio in smaller sections to reduce memory use rather than loading the whole file at once. It supports recordings lasting hours and shows progress during transcription.

This listing describes the source edition distributed on F-Droid as com.module.notelycompose.android. The Google Play edition is a separate proprietary app with a rebuilt codebase and redesigned interface.
