FUTO keyboard (open-source, free) runs entirely on-device and has extremely good STT accurary, especially with the 70M parameter model. I've used it for years now and love it.
Edit: As others have pointed out, this is not actually open source. It's source-available, which is quite a bit different because folks can't fork and distribute it as easily. The license also appears to be revocable and non-transferable, which makes it different from open source licenses.
I'd classify it as "source-available" given the noncommercial clause in the license.

Good call out. I tend to be very sensitive about these things, and this is a case where I messed up. Thanks for the correction.
Futo only produces source-available proprietary software. They most certainly are not Open Source, though they unfortunately lied about this a lot before they got called out enough times.

Good call... I got that one wrong. Thanks for the pointer!
I've used FUDO keyboard for a long time, but I never tried using the voice input, so I'm testing it now. Let's see how well it transcribes everything.
...Okay that was pretty good.
