Set up Keyspoken
- Open Keyspoken and allow the microphone.
- Download the speech model. The app tells you the size first.
- Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard, and choose Keyspoken.
- Tap Keyspoken in that list and turn on Allow Full Access.
Then, in any app, touch and hold the globe key and choose Keyspoken.
Common problems
The strip says "Mic asleep"
The ready window has ended. Tap Wake mic, which opens Keyspoken for a moment, then swipe back. You can make the window longer in settings.
The strip says "Full Access off"
Dictation needs Full Access so the strip can reach the app. Tap the button on the strip to open Settings, then turn it on. Nothing you type or say leaves your iPhone.
It heard nothing
Check that another app is not using the microphone, such as a call. Then try again.
A name keeps coming out wrong
Add it under Custom vocabulary in settings. Enter how it is heard and how you want it written.
I don't see the globe key
iOS shows it when more than one keyboard is installed. Check that Keyspoken is in your list of keyboards.
