Urdu Typing with Voice combines an Urdu keyboard with offline speech-to-text. Type using the phonetic or standard layout, or record Urdu speech and insert the transcription into your text.
Includes all basic-edition features, plus:
- Offline Urdu dictation using the bundled Whisper speech model.
- Microphone selection and recordings of up to 60 seconds.
- Transcription inserted at your cursor, with undo support.
- Optional personalized word suggestions, without an LLM model.
Speech is processed on your computer. No model download, API key, or cloud service is needed after installation. Microphone permission is required for dictation. Predictions and learning default off; saved drafts and learned words are encrypted locally.
Requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD CPU with AVX2 support and at least 1.5 GiB of available system memory for voice operation. Compatible NVIDIA acceleration is used when available; CPU fallback may be slower. Review transcriptions for errors. This edition does not include LLM autocomplete, and it keeps its own drafts and learned words.
If microphone access is unavailable after installation, enable the Snap permission with: sudo snap connect urdu-typing-voice:audio-record
