So I downloaded Futo Voice Input: this thing is the best piece of software I’ve tried in a very long time. It work fabulously well, it works offline, it’s open-source, it gives Google the finger… What’s not to love eh?

So I went to pay for it - because frankly, $10 for all that is cheap. But lo, I have to pay through… Google Play.

Really? Come on…

This is a piece of software specifically designed to help me escape the Google surveillance collective and the only way you found to get a reward for your efforts is to ask me to open a Google account to pay you?
