Google AI Edge Eloquent: the iPhone Becomes a Smart Notebook

A Revolution in Note-Taking on iPhone

Google continues to innovate in the field of artificial intelligence with the launch of Google AI Edge Eloquent, a free application designed to transform the way iPhone users take notes. This app stands out for its ability to use voice dictation to generate corrected and coherent texts, thus surpassing traditional dictation applications.

The app utilizes advanced AI models based on Google's Gemma technology, which operate directly on the device. This not only improves the accuracy of transcriptions by eliminating hesitations and providing real-time corrections but also ensures a high level of privacy, as no data is sent to the cloud. Furthermore, this feature remains accessible even without an Internet connection.

Practical Features and Limited Availability

In addition to enhanced voice dictation, Google AI Edge Eloquent offers features such as the ability to make the tone more formal, generate summaries of key points, and enrich the dictionary with technical terms for more accurate transcriptions.

However, the app is currently limited to English and is only available in certain countries: the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and countries in the European Economic Area. Google is working to expand this availability and integrate other languages while seeking the necessary permissions for broader deployment in Europe.

Towards Expansion to Other Platforms

Google is also considering bringing AI Edge Eloquent to other platforms, including computer operating systems. This initiative is part of a broader strategy by Google to develop AI applications capable of functioning locally on devices, without relying on data centers. Additionally, Google already offers Google AI Edge Gallery, an application that allows the use of local AIs on smartphones, as an alternative to solutions like ChatGPT or Gemini.
