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. AI removes filler words, fixes punctuation, and formats everything perfectly. Use your clipboard or selected text as additional context.
RUN AI ON YOUR DEVICE
Process your text with AI that runs entirely on your device. VivaDicta recommends Apple Foundation Model on devices that support Apple Intelligence. If yours doesn't, including many devices on iOS 18, you can use other on-device AI models, fully offline. No API key, no internet, nothing leaving your device.
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 or a downloadable 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
40+ built-in presets - rewrite, summarize, translate, and more. Create custom presets and mark favorites for quick access.
SPEAKER LABELS
Speaker-separated transcripts for meetings, interviews, and group chats - clear who said what.
VIVA MODES
Switch between AI-powered modes, each with its own AI settings. With Soniox, Gladia, or Speechmatics, transcripts can come back already translated.
LIVE TRANSLATION
Speak in one language and hear it back in another, in real time. Pick source and target, play it 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.
