Dictation in 25 European languages

Dictating in Spanish with the iPhone's built-in dictation

You do not need an extra app to dictate in Spanish. Apple's dictation follows the keyboard you are using.

• Open Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, and tap Add New Keyboard. Choose Spanish.
• In any app, touch and hold the globe key and switch to the Spanish keyboard.
• Tap the microphone key and speak Spanish.

Dictating in Spanish and 24 more languages with Keyspoken

Keyspoken's Multilingual model covers 25 European languages in one download, so you do not switch keyboards for each language.

How to turn it on

• Open Keyspoken and go to Speech model.
• Download Multilingual. It is an optional download.
• Choose it as the active model. You can switch back to English at any time.

The model behind it

Multilingual is NVIDIA's open Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 model. Like the English model, it runs on your iPhone and sends nothing anywhere.

What to know before you rely on it

• Filler-word removal and spoken commands such as "new line" work in English only. In other languages your words are typed as spoken.
• We are still confirming on real devices how it handles switching languages mid-sentence, so we make no promise about that yet.
• Only one model is active at a time.
