Private and on-device speech recognition keyboard and service for Android. - soupslurpr/Transcribro

Hi everyone this is my first post on here. I saw my other app called BeauTyXT posted here so I wondered why not post my newest app here.

    Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?

    I guess it’s somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it’s open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?

        Sure. There isn’t any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.

        So I’m looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)

          For a comparison, the developer of Accrescent has said some of the differences in an issue for adding a comparison table (it hasn’t been added yet). See https://github.com/accrescent/meta/issues/22#issuecomment-1780020882

          The main selling points of Accrescent are no accounts required, unattended updates without root (on Android 12+), developers always sign their own apps, and the security properties of Accrescent which means even if Accrescent’s servers gets compromised, attackers can’t do something like replacing an existing app with their own malicious version without access to the signing key used to sign the repository metadata.

          Also keep in mind Accrescent is still in early alpha and so it doesn’t have all of the features that are planned. If you’d like to see some of the planned features, please take a look at the roadmap at https://github.com/orgs/accrescent/projects/4/views/1
