I'm using espeak (from F-Droid) for text to speech, and it's working great. I'd like an app that does speech to text though, ideally supporting Swedish as well as English for Duolingo purposes, but even just English would be more than I have now.

Unfortunately FUTO apps like this and Greyjay are not truly free software, they are source available with a proprietary EULA.

Interesting! Thank you for the link.

To be honest, I am not a lawyer so those issues didn't jump at me when I quickly read through the - very terse - license.

Also, FUTO seems like decent people, and trustworthy off-line voice input software that users escape the Google surveillance is hard to come by. FUTO Voice Input is pretty much the only game in town, and the fact that it comes with source code is amazing to me. So I kind of overlooked the finer points to be honest, because it surprisingly ticks all the other boxes that matter to me.
