A dictation app for iPhone that leaves your keyboard alone

What it does

Keyspoken turns what you say into text, in any app where you can type: messages, mail, notes, search bars, documents. You switch to it with the globe key, talk, and pause. Your words are typed at the cursor and your own keyboard comes straight back.

It is a talk to text app in the plainest sense. It does not rewrite you, summarize you or change your tone. What you said is what gets typed.

Why people look for a dictation app

The iPhone has dictation built in, and for many people it is enough. People who look for something else usually want one of three things.

• Speech to text that runs on the phone and sends nothing anywhere.
• A way to teach it the names and terms it keeps getting wrong.
• A routine with fewer taps: start talking, stop talking, done.

How Keyspoken is different

• No letter keys. Most voice to text apps replace your whole keyboard. Keyspoken is a short strip, and typing stays on the keyboard you know.
• Zero touch. It listens as it opens, stops when you pause, inserts the text and switches you back.
• On-device. The speech model runs on your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no cloud.
• Open models. It runs NVIDIA's open Parakeet models, in English or in 25 European languages.

What it is not

Keyspoken is not a meeting recorder, a note-taking app or a transcription service for audio files. It types what you say, where your cursor is. It is for iPhone only, and it is not yet on the App Store.
