Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Without having to watch that video..

What is a voice app?
- Speech to text.
Love these kinds of projects. Recently been using this FOSS STT app on degoogled phone: https://github.com/ElishaAz/Sayboard (see releases for APKs)

Which has been great because I went years without STT.

This Futo looks promising with the punctuation. Now only if they publish to fdoid.
- Wow! Thank you, this is awesome!
What is incredible about this product is that I can speak normally and fluently as I normally do.

The need to look at the output as you speak is only necessary if you expect there to be errors. FUTO, amazingly, performs extremely well in this regard and I have a high confidence in not being able to trip it up. I don't feel that I need to look down at a live transcription.

This whole comment was written using FUTO voice input. I'm definitely going to donate to them.

  Was the device owner involved?

- In other words, I can't download the code, reskin it and sell "Bob's Voice to Text" for $1.29 on the play store. Seems reasonable to me.
  
  But, if I understand correctly, you cannot create your own fork and modify the code to improve it / alter features. Right? Then it's not FOSS.
Does anyone know if it works with android auto?
I don't believe that anything gives Google less access to my data.
- Why not? There are a lot of things that can help people to give less data to Google: ad blocker, Firefox, Firefox with Google container, avoid using Gmail, avoid using YouTube...
  
  Android?
  
  You can plug all those holes, but your data is still leaking. And wait until Googles new Web Integrity API is implemented. They have a thousand tentacles that are grabbing data. You can cut off a hundred of them, but it really doesn't make a difference.
- GrapheneOS is the open source android OS on pixel hardware without any google binary blobs.
  
  The advantage of using it is Google develops and optimizes the OS so it works on their hardware. The GrapheneOS project compiles the source code, hardens some parts, and boom
  
  Ah yes, binary binary large objects
