Dictator Offline Voice to Text

Dictator turns your voice into clean, punctuated text, on your iPhone, without sending a word of it anywhere. Tap the mic, say what you mean, and tap again. Dictator transcribes with a speech model that runs on your device, tidies the result with Apple Intelligence, and puts it on the clipboard ready to paste. No account, no subscription, no uploads. DICTATE IN ANY APP Add the Dictator keyboard and dictate straight into Messages, Mail, Notes or anything else with a text field. After your first dictation, the keyboard can record in place without leaving the app you’re in. The microphone indicator and a Live Activity show whenever it’s listening, with a button to turn it off. KEEPS GOING WHEN YOU LEAVE Switch apps or lock your phone mid-sentence and the recording carries on. A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows it’s listening, and Stop finishes it there. ASSIST Speak an instruction instead of the words themselves: “reply saying Friday works”, “make this shorter”, “turn this into a list”. Assist works on what you’ve dictated or on text you’ve highlighted in the keyboard. JOURNAL Talk to add to today’s entry, or write by hand and add photos. Browse a calendar of earlier days and search everything you’ve written. SCRATCHPAD A quick note you can dictate into, reword and tidy, which syncs with the Scratchpad in Dictator for Mac when you connect a shared folder. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Runs on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, in any orientation, with split view and Slide Over. On a wide screen your history sits in a column beside what you’re writing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition runs entirely on your device. Your recordings are never stored or uploaded, and there’s no analytics. The speech model is a one-time download of around 460 MB. Dictator is free and open source.
