What's New in Inkrest

3.2.2

October 22, 2026

• Keys no longer stop responding: fixed a rare case where letters stopped typing until you switched apps. • Autocorrect no longer learns your typos, and now fixes two-letter slips like "ks" for "is". • Smarter suggestions that know modern words and chat shorthand like "idk" and "ngl".

User reviews

A massive time-saver for drafting.

I've tried a lot of dictation tools, but Inkrest stands out because of how it refines text based on where it's going. Being able to ramble a thought and have the app automatically format it into a clean Email, Bullet points, or a Document is a game-changer. I never lose a thought. Plus, the fact that it's a native iPad app (not just a stretched-out phone app) is a huge bonus.

Think out loud, privately

It decouples my thinking from writing. I don’t have to worry about structuring my sentences when thinking out loud. I love the privacy. The fact that my thinking and sentences stay local gives me the peace of mind.

A productivity booster

I really like that it works on multiple apps, the keyboard is intuitive and auto-paste feature is a small but effective one that makes thoughts to words seamless.
