VivaDicta - Speech to Text

Dictate Anywhere You Type

Type 4x faster with your voice. Just speak, and AI turns your words into polished, ready-to-send text. Completely free.

WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU TYPE

One keyboard for all your apps. Dictate into Messages, WhatsApp, Email, Notion, or anywhere else - no app switching required. Your voice becomes text instantly. Swipe to switch between modes right from the keyboard.

AI THAT PROCESSES YOUR SPEECH

Raw transcriptions become polished text automatically. Powered by Apple Foundation Model right on your device - no setup, no cloud required. AI removes filler words, fixes punctuation, and formats everything perfectly. Use your clipboard or selected text as additional context - copy a message and dictate your reply.

KEYBOARD AI PROCESSING

Select text or place your cursor, then pick an AI preset - translate, rewrite, summarize, and more. Works in any app, right from the keyboard.

COMPLETELY FREE, NO EXCEPTIONS

No subscriptions, no paywalls, no limits. On-device AI, custom keyboard, unlimited transcriptions - all free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your voice never leaves your iPhone:

• All transcription runs on your device
• AI processing can run on-device with Apple Foundation Model
• Zero telemetry or tracking
• No accounts or sign-ups required
• Works in airplane mode

Cloud AI is optional and always under your control.

AI PRESETS

Process your text with 40+ built-in presets - rewrite, summarize, translate, and more. Create custom presets and mark favorites for quick access.

SPEAKER LABELS

Get speaker-separated transcripts for meetings, interviews, and group chats, so it's clear who said what.

VIVA MODES

Switch between AI-powered modes for different contexts. Each mode remembers its own AI settings. With Soniox, Gladia, or Speechmatics selected, your transcription can come back already translated in a single step.

LIVE TRANSLATION

Speak in one language and hear it back in another, in real time. Pick source and target, optionally play the translation through your headphones, and adjust playback speed. 60+ languages, any-to-any.

CHAT WITH YOUR NOTES

Ask questions about one note, many, or across your entire library. Surface insights, action items, and key points, with answers that show which notes they came from. Runs on-device with Apple Foundation Model, or with your favorite cloud AI.

SMART AI SEARCH

Find notes by meaning, not just keywords. Ask "what did I say about the pricing idea?" and VivaDicta finds it - even without those exact words. Fully on-device.

REMINDER SUGGESTIONS

Turn notes into reminders, in the original language of your note. Review suggestions and send approved items straight to Apple Reminders.
