A user attempting to benchmark Google's new on-device dictation app, Eloquent, found it to be largely unusable due to frequent failures to transcribe audio. While the app's accuracy was competitive when it did function, it often returned incomplete or no transcriptions, leading the user to suspect it behaves like a chat-style AI that sometimes responds about the audio rather than transcribing it. The user also tested Google's open model Gemma 3n, which exhibited similar issues, suggesting Eloquent might be hiding these problems. AI
