I noticed their apps are high in size compared to other apps, like for example their keyboard app size is 129 MB, which is a giant size compared to other android keyboards.
Grayjay also seems to be kind of giant, compared to bravenewpipe that supports a lot of services while still very low in size.
The only app in my opinion that has kind of reasonable size is their voice recognition, while it looks kind of ugly compared to Transcribro.
Is there is a reason for all of this?
Copying my comment to same answer:
I don’t think that is the answer because other privacy respecting apps(Open source and offline) have a lower size.
Take for example Typewise keyboard the offline paid version, it comes at 44MB only despite them implementing their own AI stuff and implementing a completely new keyboard layout.
My AI keyboard let’s you choose how accurate the AI is. The more accurate, the larger the file. I’d say that’s all it is. A more accurate model is larger.
So it’s less than 100mb difference. You could go through both apps and see what files are taking up the extra space.
So small differences in the data model can result in massive size differences. Take a look at the different models advance for Piper/whisper for home assistant. There’s orders of magnitude of size difference in very minute functionality differences.
