## What is DictaWiz?

Talk instead of type, and never take notes again. DictaWiz is your agentic AI keyboard and notes manager: voice becomes clean text in any app, and every recording becomes an organized, searchable note. Every AI model runs on your device, so your voice never leaves your phone.

STOP TYPING, START TALKING
Speak naturally and get polished text back. DictaWiz cleans up grammar, punctuation, and formatting as you talk, so nobody can tell you dictated it. Works in Messages, Notes, Mail, and every other app on your phone. Pick from 16 keyboard layouts, including QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, and Cyrillic.

AN AGENTIC AI KEYBOARD
Tap AI Skills for dozens of built-in shortcuts: fix grammar, insert a map link, add a calendar event, draft a reply, get a quick answer, and more. Don't see what you need? Describe any skill and DictaWiz builds it. Chain skills together to run automatically after you dictate, so one recording triggers a whole sequence of actions.

WORKS ANYWHERE, IN ANY LANGUAGE
Dictate on a plane, in a tunnel, or anywhere with no signal at all. 25 languages with the fast engine, 99+ with the comprehensive one, all running locally on your iPhone. Auto-detect your language, or pick it yourself. Translate any language to English, on your device.

NEVER TAKE NOTES AGAIN
Record a meeting, lecture, or interview and get the transcript written for you, with each speaker labeled. AI writes the summary: key points, decisions, and action items, done automatically. Watch it fill in live as you record. Import an audio file or a URL if you already have one.

TURN ANY RECORDING INTO STUDY MATERIAL
Get flashcards, a quiz, or a mind map from any recording, ready to study right away. Canvas turns the transcript into an editable notes document: lists, callouts, and key points you can edit and save.

AN AI ASSISTANT FOR ANY TEXT
Copy any text, tap the AI key, and type what you want done: reply to an email, rewrite a paragraph, answer a question.

STOP CORRECTING THE SAME WORDS
Set up abbreviations that expand as you type, perfect for medical terms, legal phrases, or anything you type often, and fix names DictaWiz never quite gets right.

START RECORDING IN ONE TAP
Add a home screen widget to start recording instantly. Ask Siri to record and get a transcript without opening the app. A Live Activity keeps you posted from the lock screen and Dynamic Island.

YOUR NOTES, WHEREVER YOU WORK
Send transcripts straight to Obsidian, Notion, Bear, or Drafts, or any app that takes a webhook. Send everything, only tagged notes, or send manually. Also works with Zapier and Make.

MORE POWER, IF YOU WANT IT
Everything above works on-device with zero setup. Optionally connect your own API key for cloud transcription, speaker ID, or LLM features. Never required.

EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE
Transcripts, dictionary, vocabulary, and snippets sync to the DictaWiz Mac app using your own iCloud account.

YOUR VOICE STAYS YOURS
Zero data collection. Nothing goes to the cloud unless you add your own key. No account, no tracking, no analytics. Works completely offline, and stays that way.

WHO USES DICTAWIZ?
Professionals: abbreviations keep specific terms right, every time.
Students: lectures become flashcards, a quiz, a searchable transcript.
Journalists: import interviews, get speakers identified, pull key quotes.
Lawyers: legal clause snippets and custom summary prompts.
Remote workers: meeting action items, exported to Notion or Slack.
Multilingual users: switch languages mid-sentence, work offline.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Does it work offline? Yes, every AI model runs locally.
What languages? 25 fast engine, 99+ comprehensive engine. Auto-detect included.
Is my data private? Completely. Nothing leaves your device unless you add your own key.

### 5/5 — One keyboard to rule them all!

*2026-07-22*

Keyboard functionality is unmatched - so versatile (texting, taking notes, texting).I’ve tried several dictation apps and this one requires the least amount of manual editing afterward. 

It’s now become part of my daily workflow!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

If you find something that could be better, please let me know and I will be happy to work on it.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2026-07-07*

I've tried many TTS apps and I'm happy to finally be able to say I've found THE ONE! This app is well structured and you can tell the devs really spent time on it. I find myself using this app more and more every day.  I'm grateful for the devs as I can tell they're invested in their product which gives me relief as there's nothing worse than loving an app and having unresponsive devs! Thanks so much and keep up the wonderful work!

**Developer response:** Thank you. I appreciate your review. 

We still have a few rough edges that we will continue to work on, some of these are related to Apple's restrictions on third-party keyboards.
 
If there's anything else that we can do to make the app even better, please let me know.

### 2/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2026-06-07, version 1.3.4*

It doesn’t connect to any other apps or work in the background - the transcribing seems good (happy to change this review when it feels worth the money)

### 1/5 — Broken flop app

*2026-05-31, version 1.3.3*

Downloaded this app on a recommendation in a forum. Wowee. Don't know what that commenter was thinking. 

This app took forever to download a tiny 200MB default model. No matter what model is downloaded, it can't even generate a transcript. Not after three seperate recordings. It spins and loads forever and ever and ever and ever and doesn't generate a transcript. I'm particularly boggled by this as I'm on an M1 iPad Pro. My M1 MacBook Pro can run incredibly fast and accurate transcription models. Why should an iPad app harnessing the same chip’s power be so lethargic?

The app doesn't even have a button to re-attempt the transcript generation. 

I thought, okay, fine. Let me see if I can save the voice recording to the files app so I can transcribe it with another app. When I click select the file and click save, the app crashes.

For an app that claims to do local AI summaries plus so much more, it's crazy that it can't even do the simplest thing: generate a transcript. The audacity to charge $100 and more for full access is so laughable.

I'm going to stick with my current mobile app, which cost  $6 and actually works. Thank you, next. 

By the way, if the app was functional, I absolutely would have bought the lifetime license. Alas, just saved myself $100.

### 5/5 — My review?

*2026-05-20*

Honestly I’m not even really sure how I came across this app. I’m pretty sure I saw a Reddit post where the developer dropped the link. Then I impulsively bought the lifetime membership at 1am while my baby was crying. I have tried a number of voice to text AI apps, and I am still learning how to use this app and the best way for my workflow personally, but I like this app much better than any other I have used in this category. Keep it up. It’s more difficult nowadays to find a quality product and this one is definitely a quality product.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it. There are still a few rough edges, but we'll fix it soon. 

Please let me know if you have found a workflow that works well for you. I'm happy to suggest a few workflows. 

All the best with the baby! If this your first baby- it gets better, a whole lot better.

### 5/5 — Finally, one app that replaces ten

*2026-05-15*

Honestly, I've tried many voice recording and AI note‑taking apps, but this one is different. It combines so many tools in one place: voice recorder, transcription, AI that summarizes lectures and meetings, and a smart keyboard. It works perfectly even offline. Now I have everything without needing five other apps. Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Excellent helper for meetings!

*2026-05-09*

DictaWiz is my favorite assistant for meetings and it summarizes the meetings in key points, action items, decisions instantly. Also changing the format and polishing is a breeze. Thank you DictaWiz team and keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot! Still a few rough edges that we will continue to fix.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-04*

This app is unusable. Trying to use it for dictation. Makes it switch apps back to its main app instead of dictating in something like messages or the App Store. I can’t even use it to write this review because it keeps switch back to its main app. Waste of $30 completely.

**Developer response:** Sorry about your experience. The switching to main app is an iOS issue with all the third-party voice-to-text keyboards. If you leave the microphone connected, you won't have to switch back and forth to the main app. 

Alternatively, you can set an action key shortcut to quickly dictate something to keyboard and paste it in any app directly. 

Your lifetime offer also gives you access to the MacOS app. I hope you will give that app a chance.

### 5/5 — Great app and very responsive developer

*2026-04-29*

I've been using this for a few weeks and so far I'm loving it. There were a few bugs that I've reported to the developer and he fixed them quite fast. So giving it 5 star because overall it's great and if there's a huge potential in it.

**Developer response:** Thank you! And thank you for the feedback! We have been on the app store for less than a month and the feedback has really helped us improve quite a bit.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-04-19*

I’ve ditched my other dictation apps cause DictaWiz has everything I need. I’m excited to see how this app develops.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot! We are just getting started. Please let me know if there are any improvements/features you would like to see.
