TuParles Android — Experimental POC (v0.1)

Experimental local FR/EN code-switch dictation on Android — a proof of concept. Everything runs on-device; no INTERNET permission is declared.

What it is

A capture harness: speak a prompt, it runs the same pipeline as the desktop — native whisper.cpp (on-device) → embedded CPython postprocess() — and saves the audio + raw + cleaned text. One shared Python core with the desktop, no re-port.

Install

1. Download tuparles-experimental.apk below (~212 MB — the whisper model is bundled, no download needed).
2. Enable "install from unknown sources", install, grant the mic permission.
3. Open it, wait for "Prêt", tap ● Enregistrer, speak, ■ Stop.

Features

• Toggles: Langue (auto / fr / en) · Postprocess (on / off).
• 📧 Export: send your takes to dev@nech.pl via your own email app (local intent — nothing leaves the phone unless you send it).
• Bundled base model (fast, ~1.5 s/clip). For flawless quality, push a larger model — see android/README.md.

Honest notes

• Experimental. The bundled base model keeps French as French but fumbles some loanwords; large-v3-turbo is flawless but ~30 s/clip on a mid-range phone.
• Tested on a Fairphone 6 (arm64). Other devices unverified.
• The code-switch quality verdict and the build story live in android/README.md.

🎙️ Speak, see, ship — now on your own silicon, in your pocket.
