Local Keys: AI Voice Keyboard

Private dictation that runs on your iPhone. Local Keys is a voice keyboard that turns speech into text right on your phone. It works offline, even in airplane mode. No account, and no cloud processing. Your words stay yours. PRIVATE AND LOCAL, START TO FINISH Most voice-to-text apps upload your recordings to a server to be transcribed. Local Keys doesn't. Your speech becomes text on your iPhone's own chip, so it works without an internet connection once a speech model is downloaded. We don't run servers that receive your voice or what you type, and what the keyboard learns is kept with you, on your iPhone and in your own backups, never with us. WHY WE BUILT IT We're always on the go: on the trail, on the road, in places with one bar of signal or none. We wanted voice dictation that works anyway, without sending our words to someone else's computer. So we built Local Keys: speech to text that's always in your pocket, signal or not. TALK TO TEXT IN ANY APP Local Keys is a full keyboard with a microphone built in. Tap the mic in Messages, Mail, Notes, or anywhere you type, and watch your words appear as you talk. • Type with forgiving autocorrect and suggestions when you'd rather not talk • Casual or Formal style: "yeah I'm gonna be there at 3:30." or "Yes, I'm going to be there at 3:30." • Say punctuation and emoji: "comma", "question mark", "smiley face emoji" • Recent dictations one tap away, and an optional copy to the clipboard • Full emoji keyboard, with your recently used emoji up front • A quick tour the first time you open it CHOOSE YOUR SPEECH MODEL Pick the dictation engine that fits how you talk, and switch any time: • Quick: live, word-by-word text while you speak, for everyday messages • Accurate: our most accurate English model, great for longer notes, names and numbers • Multilingual: English plus 24 European languages, detected automatically • Apple: the speech recognition built into iOS Quick, Accurate and Multilingual use open AI speech models from NVIDIA, running entirely on your iPhone.
