Little Voice Keyboard

Little Voice is a voice keyboard for iPhone. Tap the mic, speak English or Mandarin, and your words are typed where you're writing, in most apps. Recognition runs on your iPhone. No login · Works offline · No servers ON YOUR IPHONE • Built-in speech model: nothing to download, no account to create. • No Wi-Fi or mobile data needed, even in airplane mode. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Little Voice makes no network connections, so it doesn't upload your voice or text. ENGLISH, MANDARIN, CANTONESE • Chinese follows the app language: Simplified or Traditional. With the app in English, it's left as recognized. • Custom Dictionary: add a name or term's right spelling and the wrong ones you get; they're replaced automatically. HOW THE KEYBOARD WORKS 1. Add Little Voice Keyboard and turn on Allow Full Access. The app walks you through it. 2. In most apps, switch to Little Voice Keyboard and tap the mic. 3. When standby is off (first use, after a timeout, or app closed), the mic opens Little Voice, which starts listening once it's ready. iOS needs you to switch back yourself: return to your app and keep talking. If an app blocks this or loading takes too long, you'll see what to do next. 4. Tap again to stop. Your words are typed at the cursor; you can usually Undo right after. Max recording length (Settings): 30 seconds, 1 minute (default) or 2 minutes. STANDBY YOU CAN SEE After setup, Little Voice stands by in the background with the mic on (on by default), so the keyboard can start without switching apps. Only what you say between tapping to speak and tapping to stop is turned into text; standby audio isn't recognized or saved. • iOS shows its orange microphone indicator whenever standby is on. • The Lock Screen (and Dynamic Island, where available) shows Standing by, Recording… with a timer, or Transcribing… • Settings › Dynamic Island on Standby: pick how standby looks, or choose Don’t show. Then only the orange indicator appears, with no timer, even while you speak. • Turn off standby after (Home tab): 25 minutes (default), 1 hour, 4 hours, or Always on (reopen every 8 hours). • Turn it off any time with Turn Off Standby on the Home tab, or by swiping its Live Activity off the Lock Screen. WHY FULL ACCESS? iOS doesn't let keyboards use the microphone, so the keyboard hands listening to the Little Voice app. Full Access only lets the two pass commands and text on the device; the keyboard makes no network connections. Without Full Access, the keyboard still types: switch to typing mode for English letters, numbers and punctuation. Voice input needs Full Access. YOUR HISTORY, YOUR RULES • History stays on your iPhone (and in your own backups) unless you export or share it. • Text Retention: Never, 24 Hours, 1 Week (default), 1 Month or Forever (up to the latest 500 entries). • If a transcription fails, its recording is kept so you can Re-recognize it later (not with Never). • Swipe right to copy. Swipe left for Copy, Feedback and More (Delete, plus Re-recognize if it failed). • Export everything as CSV or Markdown, or clear it all at once. REPORT A PROBLEM, ON YOUR TERMS • An on-device activity log helps track down problems. It doesn't record what you said, and it's never sent automatically. • Settings › About › Report a Problem: choose the last hour, 24 hours or everything, and preview exactly what's shared. • Email the Developer opens a draft to support@alittle.hk, or share the file instead. Feedback on a History entry puts that entry's text in the email. Nothing is sent until you tap Send. App language follows your iPhone at first: 简体中文, 繁體中文（書面）, 繁體中文（粵語） or English. Change it in Settings. Your voice, transcribed on your iPhone.
