Talkeet: Offline Voice

Works in Airplane Mode. Your voice never leaves your iPhone. Talkeet turns speech into text on your iPhone with an on-device speech model. No audio or text is sent to a server, and the App Privacy label reads "Data Not Collected". One purchase. No account, no subscription, no word limits. There is no sign-in, no in-app purchase and no weekly word cap. You pay once and dictate as much as you like. A full keyboard: dictate, swipe-type, and rewrite with Apple Intelligence. Talkeet is a complete QWERTY keyboard, not just a mic button. WHAT IT DOES - Dictation: tap the mic key, speak, tap again, and the text is inserted where you are typing. - Swipe typing: slide across the letters to type a word, with alternate words in the suggestion strip. Corrections you make are learned on your iPhone, and you can clear them in Settings. - Fast typing: letters appear the moment your finger touches a key. Settings let you switch to type-on-lift or turn off the key preview. - Text shortcuts: type a short code and expand it into a longer phrase. - Apple Intelligence rewrite (optional): clean up or rewrite dictated text with Apple's on-device model. Requires iOS 26 and an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. On other devices you get the plain transcription. - Language: English (keyboard, swipe and dictation). SETUP 1. Open the app and add the keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards. 2. Turn on Allow Full Access. iOS keyboards can't use the microphone, so the Talkeet app records and transcribes, and the keyboard reads the result from storage on your iPhone that only the app and keyboard share. Full Access is what allows that sharing. The keyboard has no network code. Typing and swipe work without Full Access; dictation does not. 3. Tap Start session in the app. The first time, it downloads the speech model once (about 600 MB) from Hugging Face. On cellular or Low Data Mode it asks first. Your iPhone then optimizes the model, which can take a few minutes the first time only. After that, dictation works offline. HOW THE MIC SESSION WORKS Switch to Talkeet with the globe key in any app and tap the mic. If no session is running, Talkeet opens so you can start one, then you swipe back to where you were typing. While the session is live, iOS shows the orange microphone dot and a Live Activity. Audio is transcribed in memory and discarded, never saved. The session ends after 5 minutes without dictation, or right away with End Session in the app or the Live Activity. GOOD TO KNOW - Some fields, such as password fields, and some apps don't allow third-party keyboards. iOS switches to the system keyboard there. - The live session keeps the microphone engine running, which uses some battery. - Each recording stops after 2 minutes; tap the mic again to keep going.
