Bit unfortunate! Nemotron Streaming in Handy has basically solved dictation for me. It recognizes German mixed with English terms and brand names really well.

Can you share some info how you got that working?

Select nemotron in the model selection

Oh, since it's called "handy" I expected it would work on mobile phones, as per the name suggests. That seems it only has desktop operating systems.

Also, there's no mention of Nemotron in that handy. Is that the same Handy GGP was talking about?

https://handy.computer has Nemotron Streaming and it works fabulously well on any Mac down to the base M1. I also built a little Deepgram compatible API into it that I use with a phone app.

There are apps on the Google Play Store where you can run on-device models or connect to OpenRouter where they are run for you. Im using Qwen 3 ASR locally on my android, it's the second most accurate open model after the one in this post.

what app do you run on Android for this use-case?

https://github.com/DevEmperor/DictateKeyboard. I forked it to add more models (with Claude). I use openrouter models as well as the local ones
