Dictus: AI Voice Keyboard

Dictus is a voice keyboard that types what you say. Tap the mic, speak, and your words appear in any app. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone, even with no connection.

DICTATE IN ANY APP

Messages, mail, notes, reminders: wherever you can type, Dictus is one tap away. Speak naturally and your words appear where your cursor is.

TRANSLATE AS YOU SPEAK (PRO)

Smart Modes turn your dictation into the text you need before it is typed. Hold the mic, pick a mode (pin up to three), and speak:
- Translate: into French, English, German or Spanish
- Message: the short text you would have typed
- List: your ideas as bullet points
- Structured: a long dictation as clear paragraphs
- Summary: the gist of what you said

Smart Modes run on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26 or later). Your words are not sent to a server.

READ VOICE NOTES IN YOUR KEYBOARD (PRO)

Got a voice message you cannot listen to right now? Share it to Dictus from your chat app. It is transcribed on your iPhone, and the transcript waits in your keyboard when you go back to the conversation. Read it, then insert it with one tap if you want to quote it.

A REAL KEYBOARD IN YOUR LANGUAGE

Dictus is a complete keyboard, not just a mic button. AZERTY, QWERTY and QWERTZ layouts, with autocorrect and suggestions in French, English, German and Spanish. Type when you want, talk when you do not.

YOUR VOICE NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE

Speech recognition happens on your device. No account, no tracking, no analytics. Dictate on a plane, in the subway, anywhere. The models live on your iPhone: download one once, then use it offline, from compact and fast to most accurate.
