I was trying to find a simple app to use for offline transcription and translation on my phone, however the Play Store is absolutely chock full of ad filled ones, paid versions, in-app purchases and stuff that's just way too complicated for what I wanted.

Whistle is simple, free, no-ads, no tracking, no network permissions required application that allows your to transcribe and share the output to wherever you want. That's it, nothing else.

Big shout out to https://github.com/mybigday/whisper.rn and https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main for making this even possible.

Any suggestions are welcome.
