Vosk powers Dicio, a free and open source voice assistant for Android. If you have an Android device, this app is another way to try out Vosk:

- F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.dicio.dicio_android/

- Source: https://github.com/Stypox/dicio-android

- HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29762526

The accuracy of the English language recognition is not bad. I'm glad to see an implementation of Vosk for desktop Linux.

can second Dicio to give Vosk a try. For a local model it worked surprisingly well. But you can't yet mix languages mid sentence - difficult when searching for restaurants that have english names but are not located in a english speaking country.
