Privacy

Your voice stays on your device

Speech recognition and AI edits run on your iPhone and Mac, so dictation keeps working in Airplane Mode. Sync goes through your iCloud account, and DictaWiz never sees it.

01 · Your voice
Transcribed on your iPhone or Mac by Parakeet, Whisper or Apple's speech engine. Audio goes to a cloud service only if you add your own API key for one.
02 · AI edits
Rewrites and summaries run on Apple Intelligence or Gemma, on your device.
03 · Sync
Notes, custom words and settings move between your devices through your own iCloud account. DictaWiz keeps no copy.
04 · Accounts
There isn't one. No sign-up, no email, and the keyboard never logs what you type.

Voice First mode, swipe typing and a number row, so you never switch back to Apple's keyboard.

How it works

How to start dictating on iPhone

01

Turn on the keyboard

Add DictaWiz once in Settings. It sits next to your usual keyboard in every app.

02

Hold the mic and talk

Speak the way you would to a friend. DictaWiz adds punctuation and drops the ums and false starts.

03

Tidy it with a tap

Shorten it, make it friendlier, translate it or turn it into a reply, right in the text field.

This is hands down one of the best dictation apps I've used in a long time. I've tried WhisperFlow, Willow, Voicedash, BleepAI, and many others. There's the new Google's Edge Eloquent as well, but this app outperforms all of them, and you can use the on-device models for transcription, which are quite accurate.

I love this app! I used to be a user of Voicenotes and ideaShell, but this app is much better than both of those. I was happy to go for the Lifetime Pro version. This app is full of great features and the developer is very receptive to feedback. Easy 5 stars for me.

Incredibly helpful-and best of all, it works offline. Privacy done right! It's become an everyday essential!

The difference from other apps is that all processes are processed by internal AI without the Internet. It's very easy to use and fast.

This is an amazing app for anyone who enjoys using dictation often. And at this low cost, it can replace a lot of very expensive alternatives. The fact that it's localized also means that you can use it without internet and it's really quick. This has become my default keyboard.

This app is really accurate, one of the best transcriptions app for iOS, can't wait to see what the developer will do next, and i love the keyboard design

emmgr23 · Portugal

“

This app is really good. I particularly appreciated the concept of integrating with an Apple Watch. This allows me to transcribe my thoughts on the go, and later, I can easily paste them into any AI chatbot without having to remember and type them manually.

I like this App. The transcript playback with word highlighting is nice - way easier to review than I expected. Also the app feels pretty polished already.

La app es genial funciona de maravilla ya le estoy dando uso constante y lo mejor es su multiidioma ya que la mayoría de las apps que he probado no lo tienen. Felicitaciones al desarrollador por su grandiosa app.

Lukenshin · Colombia

Une appli très efficace pour la dictée vocale, bien plus que celle par défaut de l'iPhone ! J'apprécierais de pouvoir utiliser le modèle Whisper Turbo (le meilleur selon moi), mais Parakeet fait déjà un super travail.

Lots of useful features along with good privacy policy.

El teclado funciona muy bien y además la herramienta que utiliza para la transcripción de voz es bastante potente. El sistema implementado hace todo el trabajo, no hay necesidad de indicar signos de puntuación cómo ocurre con Siri.
