Found Translate You for text translation, but it uses online services. Is there any offline app for that?

Sayboard allows offline speech to text translation. It's quite cool.
It supports English and seems useful.
Was looking to see if there are models for Malayalam and other languages.

Saw a Malayalam vosk GMM model in gitlab. Tho, it can't be imported. It seems to need a chain training model.

Does anyone know any resources on that?
Or any other app that can do it?

Or is there some way using Termux or so?

It allows to launch exported activities from various apps and helps to create useful shortcuts

2 examples where I find it to be quite useful:
1. Quick Record shortcut for Audio Recorder

It currently does not have a quick recording shortcut.
Audio Recorder Gitlab issue where a user requests the feature. Maybe attention from someone here would be helpful?

You can directy search for the app in Activity manager, open it and create a a shortcut for the Recording activity.

2. Shortcut to open Android/data folder in the native Files app

Context for the folder location I use hereFor Android 11 & onwards, you can't access the Android/data folder(without root) from regular file manager apps like Material files(awesome opensource file manager).
The Telegram X app stores it's downloaded files in a folder there.
Material files calls the native Android Files(not GFiles, documentsui.files) app to open the Android/data folder.
Activity manager can be used to create a shortcut for that

  1. Search for and open the Files app in Activity Manager and choose the Launch with parameters option for the FilesActivity
  2. Action, choose ACTION_VIEW
  3. Data = content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3AAndroid%2Fdata%2Forg.thunderdog.challegram%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments or any other directory you like
  4. Mime type, choose vnd.android.document/directory

You can then launch the activity with the parameter.
This will be recorded in History(the clock sign). You can long-press the entry and create a Shortcut.


Do you have any other cases or ideas where this would be usedul? Please do share them here.


On a tangent, Material files allows making shortcuts to files and folders. Markor, text editor app, allows the same too.

The only one I found by searching is way out of date and doesn't seem to work. But it feels like there's got to be one out there somewhere

If you're reading this I hope you're having a lovely day :)

Update: switch to Ironfox, the maintainer is legit and the app is now even on Accrescent.

The DivestOS developer Tavi has stopped his work on the project and all apps.

Thanks a lot for your great efforts! I have used Mull, Mulch, Carrion and Hypatia and they were all great.

Now we are looking for a future of the Mull browser, while the other software projects are also important for sure.

What is absolutely important: Donate!

When I use my GPS app or I want to use my Bluetooth headphones I need to turn on those services, but only in those scenarios, once I'm done using them I don't want them to be always on, is there a way to automatically turn them off is they are not being used?

I tried Tasker but the "Turn off Bluetooth if not being used" profile wasn't working at all.

I have noticed recently that when I pull down to refresh and then open my notification shade, the updating repositories notification no longer shows which repository is currently being requested like it used to. I personally find this lack of information somewhat annoying. If they don't want to show which repository is currently being updated, the least they could do, at least in my opinion, would be to take the number of repositories and divide 100 by that number and get a percentage so that you could see what percent of the repositories had been updated. So it might show updating repositories 35% or something like that.

Was trying to add some text to an image to make memes. Found this app while checking whether Photopia works on Android.

It's a beta version, but was mostly ok.
I think people with tablets would find it more useful.

Which image editor apps do you use to make memes?
