Google launches AI Edge Eloquent, Gemma AI-powered speech-to-text dictation app for iPhones

Recently, Google rolled out the Gemma 4, the company's most advanced and powerful generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) Large Language Model (LLM).

Now, the search engine giant has launched Gemma AI-powered AI Edge Eloquent, a speech-to-text dictation app for iPhones.

It is free to download the app, and it can work offline. Language processing happens on-device, so the user's audio and the generated text are available on iPhone at all times. However, for advanced optional features, it may be relayed to the server.

Regular dictation applications usually stumble and fail to provide filler words for 'ums', 'uhs', and other types of pauses. Thanks to Gemma 4's advanced Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities, it can understand the user's intended meaning and edit out those mid pauses, polish it with the right word in the speech or the interview.

Also, it will create a personal library within the app, and learn the user's unique vocabulary to improve the accuracy of the dictation.

This is a innovative tool for artists and writers to be more polished while expressing their thoughts. With this, they will be able to write articles articulately and accurately.

For now, it supports English only. More languages will added in the coming months. Also, there is no official word on when the Android version will be released just yet.

In a related development, Google has launched a ransomware detection feature in Drive cloud storage.

Thanks to the AI-powered screening process, Google Drive will automatically detect any presence of malware. It is capable of detecting 14x more infections, leading to even more comprehensive protection.

When users have Google Drive for desktop installed on their computers, file syncing pauses when ransomware is detected. The user will see a notification appear on their computer. Also, admins will see an alert in the Admin console security centre; notification emails will be delivered to both users and admins.
