Voicetation: Voice Dictation

Speak instead of typing — in any app. Live transcription types while you talk, and an optional journal keeps a recap of your days.

Voicetation is a keyboard. Tap the microphone, talk, and watch your words appear as you speak — in Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, or anywhere else you use a keyboard.

WHAT IT DOES

• Dictate anywhere. Voicetation works in every app that takes a keyboard, so there is no copying and pasting from a separate notes app.

• Live transcription. Your words show up while you are still talking, punctuation included, and settle into clean final text when you stop.

• Hold space to talk. Press and hold the space bar, speak, and release — the text drops right in. Slide up to cancel.

• Dictate without switching apps. Start a session once and a small floating window keeps it alive, so you can keep talking without leaving the app you are in.

• Teach it your words. Dictionary terms are sent along with your recordings so the speech model knows how to spell your names, brands and jargon. Add a "misheard as" form and that exact wording is fixed on your iPhone, no AI involved.

• Rewrite and translate. Tap the spark to polish what you wrote, or the globe to translate it. You see the result first and decide whether to insert it — nothing is changed behind your back.

A JOURNAL, IF YOU WANT ONE

• The Home tab counts your dictated words, your streak, and the typing time you saved.

• Turn on dictation history and the Journal writes itself: a short AI recap of each day you dictate, next to notes you add by voice or typing. Every card can be edited or deleted — including the AI's.

• Ask your journal questions — "what did I decide about the launch?" — and get answers drawn from your own notes.

A REAL KEYBOARD, TOO

Voicetation is not voice-only. It is a full keyboard you can leave installed:

• English autocorrect that only fixes actual misspellings. It will not "correct" a word you meant to write.

• Chinese pinyin with swipe input, whole-sentence conversion, fuzzy pinyin, and a dictionary that learns which candidates you pick.

• All of the above runs on your device and works with no connection at all.

PRIVACY

• No account. There is nothing to sign up for, so there is nothing tying your words to a profile.

• No ads, no tracking, no data brokers.

• Your voice is sent to be turned into text and is not stored by us. If a dictation cannot be returned safely, its latest audio or text stays only on your iPhone for up to 24 hours so you can retry or copy it.

• Text in password fields is never sent anywhere, under any setting.

• Dictation history is off until you turn it on. Emails and long numbers are stripped before anything is saved, and it lives only on this iPhone for 30 days. Journal recaps and answers are generated on request, and nothing is kept on our servers.

• The keyboard connects to the internet only when you tap Rewrite or Translate. Typing, pinyin, swipe input and autocorrect run entirely on your device.

GETTING STARTED

Add Voicetation in Settings and turn on Full Access — the app walks you through both steps. Full Access is what lets the keyboard hand recording over to the app, receive your text back, and reach the AI features. Without it the keyboard still types, swipes and autocorrects, fully offline.
