Google AI Edge Eloquent: setup and offline dictation

This tutorial walks through Google AI Edge Eloquent on iOS, starting with installation from the App Store. First launch downloads an AI model to the phone. The speaker then grants microphone access, records a sample, and shows how the app removes filler words, refines the transcript, and copies the result to the clipboard. An edit button lets users revise and save the text.

The cloud toggle controls the processing mode. According to the speaker, turning it off keeps dictation private and offline on the device. With cloud mode enabled, Gemini on Google servers handles enhanced text cleanup. The tutorial demonstrates key points, formal, short, and long formats, which turn a transcript into a summary or change its tone and length. These reformatting options are unavailable with cloud mode off, although text cleanup still works.

An optional Google account connection imports vocabulary from Gmail into a personal dictionary. Users can also add words manually, organize terms into collections, and import them from a file. The history tab supports searching, copying, editing, and deleting recordings, but sessions only save when the save dictation history setting is enabled.
