## What is dictate.?

Talk instead of typing.

dictate. turns your voice into clean, ready-to-send text inside any app. Use it in Messages, WhatsApp, Gmail, Notion, Instagram, Mail, Notes, and more — directly where you already type.

No copy-paste. No app switching. Just speak naturally and let dictate. turn your words into polished text with punctuation, paragraphs, and clean formatting.

Why dictate. is different

- Voice typing inside any app — dictate. is a keyboard, not a separate transcription app
- Clean, ready-to-send text — punctuation, paragraphs, and filler word cleanup happen automatically
- No copy-paste — your words appear right where you're typing
- Personal dictionary — teach dictate. your names, slang, technical terms, and work phrases once
- Edit without switching — add numbers, symbols, and punctuation from the same keyboard
- Translation — speak in one language and send in another. 4 translation languages supported
- 30+ dictation languages — speak naturally in the language you use every day
- Searchable history — find past messages, notes, and ideas in seconds
- Also on Mac — use dictate. on iPhone and macOS, with your history, settings, dictionary, and Pro access synced through your account
- Widget + Live Activity — start dictating from the Home Screen and follow sessions in Dynamic Island
- Private by design — your audio is processed securely and recordings are not stored

Perfect for

- Messages in WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage
- Emails in Gmail, Outlook, and Mail
- Notes in Notion, Bear, and Apple Notes
- Posts for Instagram, X, and LinkedIn
- Forms, search, and anywhere you type
- Accessibility for people with motor difficulties or RSI
