Speech to text
Speech to text on iPhone that works in every app
Voicetation is a speech-to-text keyboard: speak in Messages, Mail, Slack, or WhatsApp and get ready-to-send text. Free, no account, with optional rewrite before you hit send.
Free · No account · iOS 18+
Speech to text where you already write
Not a separate notepad. The keyboard drops text into the field you have open.
Cleaner than raw transcripts
Punctuation and casing are handled automatically so speech to text looks like something you would actually send.
Personal dictionary
Teach names and jargon so speech recognition spells the words you use at work.
20 languages, auto-detected
Switch languages mid-conversation; Voicetation keeps up.
Rewrite after you speak
Tap ✨ to tighten tone, or 🌐 to translate to English or Japanese — preview first.
No account wall
Install and start. Speech to text should not require a new login.
Speech to text vs voice dictation
People search both phrases for the same job: talk, get text.
Same outcome
On mobile, “speech to text” and “voice dictation” usually mean converting speech into a typed message.
Keyboard vs recorder apps
Recorder/transcript apps are great for meetings. A speech-to-text keyboard is better for chat and email.
Why Voicetation
Built for the keyboard workflow — continuous listening, hold-space, rewrite on device UI.
