Bulbul for Android

Bulbul for Android is built around the place you are already typing: a message composer, a note, a browser form, or a document. The floating bubble stays above your keyboard, so dictation is always close at hand.

What is different on Android

Android does not offer desktop-style global hotkeys, so Bulbul uses a bubble and Android’s Accessibility service to insert text into the focused field. The app guides you through each permission with a preview before you turn it on.

Dedicated Android paths

The shared features—Groq key, cleanup modes, dictionary, snippets, transforms, history, and insights—work with Android-specific controls described in the green Android brackets throughout this documentation.
