Dictate in any app
Voicetation is a keyboard, so it works everywhere you can type — Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, WhatsApp, your browser. Tap the mic and speak.
Free voice dictation, right in your browser
Tap record and speak — up to one minute. Your words become text you can copy anywhere.
Accurate AI speech-to-text
State-of-the-art AI speech recognition turns natural talk into clean text — punctuation, casing, and formatting handled for you.
No account. No sign-up. Ever.
Install, add the keyboard, start dictating. The other voice apps make you create an account first — we don't even have one to create.
20 languages, auto-detected
Dictate in English, Spanish, Japanese, French and more — switch languages mid-conversation and Voicetation keeps up automatically.
Your words, your dictionary
Teach Voicetation the names, brands, and technical terms you actually use, so they come out spelled right — every time.
Private by design
No accounts, no tracking, no ads. We do not store audio on our servers. One unfinished dictation may stay only on your iPhone for up to 24 hours so you can recover it. Password fields never reach the keyboard.
Say it, then make it better
Dictation gets the words out. The AI on the keyboard makes them sound right — rewrite and translate without leaving the app you're in.
✨ Rewrite in one tap
Dictated a rambling draft? Tap ✨ and get it rewritten — clearer, more professional, more concise, or friendlier. Works on anything you typed or dictated.
🌐 Translate as you go
One tap turns what you wrote into English or Japanese — hold a conversation in a language you can barely type in.
You approve every change
Rewrites and translations show as a preview on the keyboard first. Your text stays untouched until you tap Insert — no surprises.
How to dictate on your iPhone

Just talk
Speak naturally — pauses, names, half-formed thoughts and all. Tap stop and your words appear as clean, ready-to-send text.
Why not just use the built-in dictation?
Apple's Dictation is handy for a quick sentence. Voicetation is for people who talk instead of type.
It keeps listening
Built-in iPhone dictation likes short bursts and stops when you pause too long. Voicetation records until you tap stop — think out loud, backtrack, take your time.
It knows your vocabulary
Names, product terms, and industry jargon are where dictation usually falls apart. Your personal dictionary biases recognition toward the words you actually say.
It cleans up after you
Punctuation and capitalization are handled automatically, so what lands in the text field is ready to send — not a wall of lowercase. Rambled anyway? ✨ tidies it in one tap.
Your words are never lost
Bad connection mid-dictation? Voicetation keeps your audio and offers a one-tap retry — what you said never just disappears.
Frequently asked questions
Is Voicetation free?
Yes — the beta is free to use via TestFlight. Install it, add the keyboard, and start dictating right away.
How do I start voice dictation on my iPhone?
Install Voicetation, enable it under Settings → General → Keyboard, then open any app, switch to the Voicetation keyboard, and tap the microphone. Speak, tap stop, and your words appear as text.
How is this different from the built-in iPhone dictation?
Voicetation is built for people who dictate a lot: it keeps recording until you stop it, handles punctuation and casing automatically, and learns your names and technical terms through a personal dictionary.
Is my voice recording stored anywhere?
We do not store your audio on our servers. If a dictation cannot be returned safely, Voicetation keeps one temporary recovery copy — audio or text — only on your iPhone for up to 24 hours, then deletes it automatically. There are no accounts or tracking, and password fields never reach Voicetation.
Can it rewrite or translate what I wrote?
Yes. The keyboard has a ✨ rewrite button with four styles — improve, professional, concise, friendly — and a 🌐 one-tap translate button (currently into English and Japanese). You always preview the result first and insert it only if you like it.
Which languages does it support?
You can dictate in 20 languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, French, and German — with automatic language detection if you switch between them.
Does it work offline?
Dictation uses a secure cloud service for the best accuracy. On iOS 26 and later, an on-device fallback keeps dictation working when you have no connection.
