Talk instead of typing. Tapy is a keyboard app that turns your voice into clean text in any app, in your language or theirs. YOU SPEAK, TAPY TYPES Hold the mic and talk, or tap it once and talk hands-free. The mode button switches between four ways to write: • Fast: words appear as you speak. • Verbatim: every word you say, punctuated. • Clean: no filler words or slips, and lists set out. • Translate: you speak your language, Tapy writes another. Mix languages in one sentence if that is how you talk: over 100 are on the list. SEE IT AS YOU SAY IT Fast mode types each word while you talk. When you stop, the text is already there. SAY IT IN YOURS, THEY READ THEIRS In Translate mode you speak your language and Tapy writes it in theirs. Keep up to three languages and switch on the keyboard. A Meaning line shows, in your language, what you are sending. READ IT IN YOURS, REPLY IN THEIRS Copy a message and tap Paste. In Translate mode Tapy translates it for you. Then say your answer, and Tapy writes it in the sender's language. HOLD SPACE TO FIX IT Hold space, say the change ("make it 8 instead of 7", "more polite") and let go: the text you just inserted, or the text you selected, is rewritten. One-tap buttons such as Shorter, More polite and Fix spelling do the same, and you can add your own. Undo brings the old version back. A TYPING KEYBOARD TOO The letter keys sit where the iPhone keyboard has them, with Vietnamese Telex, emoji, and a number pad for fields that take only digits. Typing works without Full Access and without a connection. MADE FOR YOUR WORDS Put names, brands and jargon in the dictionary, and Tapy asks the AI to spell them exactly as you wrote them. Give each mode your own instructions, such as "Use British spelling". PLANS Your first 60 minutes of speaking are free, with no sign-up. After that, choose a monthly plan: Starter with 3 hours of speaking a month, Plus with 10 hours, or Pro with 40 hours. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A plan renews every month unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW • An iPhone keyboard cannot use the microphone, so the Tapy app listens for it. The first time you tap the mic, Tapy opens and starts listening. Swipe back to your app and keep talking. The mic then stays ready for 5 minutes after your last dictation, or 15 or 60 if you choose, and a Live Activity shows it, with a button to end it. • Voice, translation and edits need Allow Full Access and an internet connection. • Password and phone number fields always use the iPhone keyboard: iOS lets no other keyboard type there. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking. Your voice, and the text a request needs, such as the words just before the cursor, a copied message or the text you edit, leave your iPhone only when you use a voice or AI feature. They pass through Tapy's server to the AI services that write the text, and our server does not store them. Your dictations stay on your iPhone for an hour.

Tapy still listens for the last few words and fixes them in place if needed. FAST IN EVERY MODE Turn on "Fast" on the page of Verbatim, Clean, Translate or your own mode. Your words appear as you speak, and as each sentence ends, Tapy rewrites it for the mode. With "Fast" on, each minute counts double. TRANSLATE A WHOLE MEETING In Translate with "Fast" on, the translation appears as you speak. One go can last up to 3 hours, enough to translate a meeting into Notes. Tapy stops listening when the screen locks, so keep your iPhone's screen on. Turn on "Super Fast" too, and it's done the moment you stop, with each minute counted once. Accuracy may drop. TRANSLATE INTO YOUR LANGUAGE The Translate quick edit now translates into the language you picked for Translate mode. IPHONE DUO On iPhone Duo, Tapy's keyboard has a globe key to switch to another keyboard. The mic keyboard takes a single row in every position, leaving more room for what you're reading. A NEW SLIM STRIP The slim strip now has a round mic at the edge of the hand holding the phone, with space and emoji keys. Tap the mic to talk and again to insert, or hold it while you talk. FAMILIAR KEYS The letter keys now have a familiar size, spacing and colors on every iPhone from the SE to the Pro Max, and the keyboard is a little shorter, leaving more room for your content. Web address fields get ".", "/" and ".com" keys, and email fields get "@" and ".". Hold "." or ".com" to pick .vn, .com.vn, .net and more. Type a name and "@" in an email field, and Tapy suggests @gmail.com and @icloud.com. Hold the space bar and slide up or down to move the cursor to another line; slide faster and the cursor moves faster. The 123 keys are new too. Typing ' takes you back to the letters. Settings › Typing has three new switches: "Auto-Capitalization" to turn off capitals at the start of a sentence, "Space after punctuation", and "Simple Telex": w on its own stays w; type uw for ư. EMOJI SEARCH The emoji panel has a "Search emoji" field: type "dog" or "love", in English or Vietnamese, with or without accents, then tap an emoji to insert it. The emoji are bigger too. Finish a word like "dog", pause, and matching emoji appear beside the mode button; tap one to add it after the word. FIXES In Translate, in some chat boxes, Tapy sometimes kept what you said as spoken instead of translating it. It now always writes in the language you picked. Stretching a word on the Vietnamese keyboard, like "đâyyy" or "nhéee", now keeps its accents. Chat spellings like "đếi" or "zậy" now keep their accents. Missing the space after a Vietnamese word, like typing "được" then "k", now keeps the word's accents. Abbreviations like "đc" and "đt" keep their đ too. Touches that slip onto the next key while typing Vietnamese now give fewer wrong letters. For example, "anh" with a slip onto j still gives "anh", not "ạn". Holding the space bar to move the cursor now taps lightly with each character. Music over CarPlay no longer stutters while Tapy's mic is on: in the car, the mic turns off 10 seconds after you finish speaking. Typing Vietnamese in Gmail and Messenger in a web browser now gives the right words. Before, a new word could garble the one before it. In Safari's address bar, typing a domain like "momo.vn" now keeps it as typed instead of "môm.vn". Quick edits like "Fix spelling", and holding space to fix, now work on all of a long selection, up to about 2,000 words. Before, sentences in the middle of a long selection could be lost. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-29 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
