VocaPhone Android — Beta Release 1

This is the first VocaPhone Android release candidate. It ships the native keyboard path and connects to your own self-hosted vocaphone gateway. The old Local Flow/vocaphone beta.1–beta.6 release entries were retired before this release.

What is included

  • Native Android input method with a dedicated dictation key; Gboard, Samsung Keyboard, and other keyboards remain available.
  • Transcript insertion through Android’s InputConnection; VocaPhone does not read surrounding field text and disables dictation for password and other sensitive fields.
  • Streaming transcription with automatic batch fallback, a five-minute recording cap, foreground recording notification, and microphone route selection.
  • QR pairing, gateway health/model checks, per-device encrypted bearer-token storage, and retry-safe sessions.
  • Language and writing-style controls in the keyboard.
  • Privacy-safe diagnostics containing state and error metadata only—not transcripts, typed text, audio, gateway URLs, or tokens.
  • No accessibility-service or overlay permission is required.

Install

Download vocaphone.apk, then install it from Android or run:

adb install -r vocaphone.apk

Android 13 or newer is required. After installation, enable VocaPhone under Settings → System → Keyboard → On-screen keyboard, select it in an editable field, and pair it with a reachable vocaphone gateway.

If you are upgrading from the old Local Flow package (io.github.mrsunglasses.localflow), uninstall that old package first; the application ID changed to com.vocahq.vocaphone.

Verify the download

Use SHA256SUMS.txt to verify the APK checksum and SIGNING-CERTIFICATE-SHA256.txt to verify the signing identity. This release is signed with APK Signature Scheme v2 and certificate fingerprint:

E6:13:14:46:F8:AF:EF:F1:35:16:F7:80:36:DB:9E:A2:6A:AA:16:E0:1B:39:F3:71:82:BF:26:2C:CD:1D:45:B0

Release details

  • Package: com.vocahq.vocaphone
  • Version: 0.1.0-beta.7
  • Version code: 7
  • Minimum Android: 13 (API 33)
  • Target Android: 16 (API 36)
  • APK includes arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, and x86_64 ABIs

This is a release candidate: the gateway is required, and OEM-specific keyboard behavior still deserves wider device testing.
