Android 8.0 or later · 64-bit ARM Android system · compatible GPU · direct APK download.

Install and set up

  1. Download the APK on your Android device and open it. If Android asks, allow installation from this browser only. Keep system security protection enabled.
  2. Open Diktator! from your app list. Follow setup to allow microphone access, enable the Diktator keyboard and select it.
  3. Use Wi-Fi for the separate model download. Open AI Models and start with Base. The app shows each download size. Download keyboard language packs if you need them.

Choose a model, then test it

Start with Base, then try Small. On devices with more memory, continue with a larger model. Use the app’s memory guidance to match the model to the device.

As a guide, use Base or Small on devices with 4 GB of RAM. Devices with 8 or 12 GB can try larger models. Available GPU memory varies by device.

For larger models, segmented long dictation and final proofreading, start the free 21-day advanced trial in the app: Trial Pro → Start free 21-day trial. The trial begins when you choose this command.

In version 2.3.2

  1. Review keeps its editing controls and full draft visible while you choose individual corrections, edit at the cursor or add text by voice.
  2. Chinese pinyin, Japanese romaji/kana/kanji and Korean jamo/Hangul now use local composition and candidate suggestions in Review.
  3. Models shows device and live memory guidance; keyboard sizing and larger bottom controls adapt to phones and tablets.
  4. Segmented dictation enables Proofreading; translation uses one complete pass.
  5. Local personal-dictionary export, text Notes and microphone-input selection are included.

A small, repeatable test

  1. In About, run the built-in check twice with the same model and language. The first and repeated runs help distinguish initial loading from normal use.
  2. Open Notes or a messenger. Turn proofreading off first. Dictate a short phrase of 10–15 seconds, then a passage of 45–60 seconds. Check for missing or repeated words and note the wait after Stop.
  3. Open app search or Google Play search. Check that Enter starts a search and that the keyboard’s bottom row remains fully visible above the Android navigation controls.
  4. After each model or error, open About → Send report, then share the attached .txt through the contact options on the Support page.

The built-in check uses a public FLEURS speech sample, available in 13 languages. Compare runs using the same sample and model to measure relative recognition quality.

Optional: a longer dictation

Keep one model selected. Try 3 minutes and then 5 minutes in dictation mode with segmentation enabled during the advanced trial. Separately, try 3 minutes with proofreading in Review mode. Record how long each result takes after Stop. Use recordings up to 4 minutes for the proofreading check.

What to send back

Attach the report after each model or problem. It includes the phone and Android version, processor, GPU, RAM, model/settings, processing timings and recent app-exit information.

Add a few words: test, language, model, approximate recording length, wait after Stop, whether words were correct or missing, whether the device became hot, and which app you used. An error or keyboard screenshot is useful if you hide personal information.

Review the diagnostic report before sharing and choose the recipient.

Memory and performance

For large models, the app shows memory guidance. Proofreading time reflects device performance.

Android includes Diktator model translation. Translation uses one complete on-device model pass and opens the result in Review.
