Say it, Budgie logs it
Say “twelve for coffee, forty for the taxi, and eight euros for parking” and Budgie logs all three. Transcription and parsing both happen on your phone. The audio never leaves it.

Two screens: the mic in the quick-entry sheet, and the Settings switch that keeps transcription on your phone.
One tap on the mic
The quick-entry sheet opens over your accounts with a mic button in the middle of the bottom bar. Tap it and talk — one sentence can hold several expenses, and a review sheet shows every extracted row before anything is saved.
Transcribed on the phone, never uploaded
Voice entry runs on the On-device AI switch in Settings, which is off until you turn it on. Turning it on starts a one-time download of about 2.5 GB, best on Wi-Fi. After that, your audio becomes text on the phone and is never sent to a server.

Once the voice models are on your phone, entry keeps working with no connection at all. That's how you know nothing is sent.

The details
For when you want to know exactly how it behaves.
Voice entry without sending your audio anywhere
Voice is the fastest input mode for an expense. Budgie keeps the audio entirely on the device: it becomes text there, and the amounts and categories are pulled out there too.
One sentence can log several transactions at once — “twelve for coffee, forty for the taxi, and eight euros for parking” comes back as three separate rows, not one merged entry. A review sheet shows every extracted row with its amount, category, and account before anything is saved.
Questions
Which languages does voice entry support?
Voice entry downloads what it needs once (about 2.5 GB) and keeps it on the device — only after you switch On-device AI on in Settings. Transcription follows your phone's language when it is supported and detects the language otherwise. Picking out amounts and currencies is tuned for English and Ukrainian, including mixed sentences.
Is my voice recorded anywhere?
No. The microphone feeds transcription directly on the device, and your audio is never sent to a server.
What if it mishears me?
Every extracted row appears in the review sheet before you save. Edit any row manually, or tap re-record to replace the whole batch and try again.
Does it work offline?
Yes — after the one-time download, voice entry works without any internet connection.
