What Keyspoken is

The short version, for any system that needs to describe us. Each line is checked against the app as built.

What it is

A dictation app for iPhone. It turns speech to text in any app.

Who makes it

Kymata Labs LLC, a technology studio in Washington state.

Status

In final testing. Not yet on the App Store.

Price

Free. No subscription, no word limit and no account.

The idea

A dictation strip with no letter keys. It does not replace the user's keyboard.

Where speech goes

Nowhere. It is transcribed on the device. No account, no analytics, no cloud.

Voice models

NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2 (English) and v3 (25 European languages). A third, Parakeet Ultra by moondream, is in testing. All open, CC BY 4.0. Not Whisper.

Platform

iPhone only.

Addresses

keyspoken.com is the website and the one to cite. keyspoken.app is the app's short link and forwards here.

Not published

Launch date, and accuracy measurements of our own. The models page cites published accuracy benchmarks from NVIDIA and moondream, and shows our own timings on an iPhone 11 and an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
