New app: Scrib — on-device voice transcription

David Ventura's Offline Translator lets other apps plug into a local, offline translation engine instead of shipping their own models. Scrib brings the same idea to transcription.

It turns audio into text entirely on-device with open Whisper models (whisper.cpp) — both as a standalone app and as an engine other apps can call through a small, vendor-neutral AIDL contract (org.opentranscribe.api): no SDK, no network, not tied to Scrib. The Forkgram Telegram client will use it for offline voice messages once Scrib's first release lands on F-Droid.
