## What is RAWcorder?

Rawcorder is a dictaphone that turns speech into text right on your phone. No cloud, no account, no server subscription.

• NEW: the Rawcorder keyboard. It looks like the system keyboard and adds an orange dictation button – in Messages, Mail, Notes, WhatsApp or the browser. Your words are transcribed on the iPhone with the same model and lexicon as the app and inserted at the cursor. Czech QWERTZ or QWERTY layouts with acute and caron (háček) keys, or English. Dictation requires “Allow Full Access”; the keyboard never stores or sends anything you type.
• Dictate notes of any length – it keeps recording with the screen locked.
• Import recordings and videos and have them transcribed.
• Meetings and interviews: it separates speakers (Speaker 1, Speaker 2…) and you can name them.
• Listen: paste text or import a PDF, DOCX or TXT and the phone reads it aloud. Play it in the built-in player (±15 s, speed, resumes where you stopped) or share it as an audio file.
• Pick your model: Whisper Large v3 Turbo for top accuracy with your lexicon, Parakeet for lightning-fast transcripts.
• Lexicon: teach it names, brands and jargon. Replacements fix words the model keeps getting wrong.
• Audio is deleted after transcription, so it doesn't eat your storage.
• Archive with a calendar and search, text editing, sharing as text or Markdown.
• Optional: make your transcripts available to Claude or ChatGPT over MCP – via an iCloud folder or your own server. Off by default.

Designed like a small piece of hardware: aluminium face, dot-matrix LCD, rotary knobs and a big orange button.

Privacy: the app collects no data. It only goes online to download a model and for the AI bridge if you turn it on.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-11-01

• The keyboard now behaves like the system one: it adds missing accents (tri → tři), suggests words above the keys, and delete takes a correction back.
• Acute and caron go after the letter, and long-press offers the same letters as iOS.
• Fast typing: double letters and a double tap on Shift are never lost, and there are no dead spots between keys.
• New "Dictation only" layout: a keyboard without letters, with a big record button.
• Music from another app pauses while you record or dictate. A long dictation is never lost: if it can't be inserted, it is saved to the Archive.
• Fixed a crash of the keyboard.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-30

• Keyboard: pause dictation and carry on later; it is all transcribed when you finish.
• The keyboard now gets its colours right in apps that stay light while the phone is in dark mode.
• Small improvements and fixes.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-29

• Simpler recording controls: the big orange button now pauses and resumes the recording. The new Stop button ends it and sends it for transcription.
• Speaker separation: the transcript starts a new paragraph at every change of speaker, even when people talk over each other mid-sentence.
• Small improvements and fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-21

Big update: Rawcorder is now also a keyboard!
• Looks like the system keyboard, plus an orange dictation button. Works in Messages, Mail, WhatsApp and the browser – speech is transcribed on your iPhone and inserted at the cursor.
