## What is Valcy?

Valcy helps you turn your voice into clean, natural text on iPhone.

Use Valcy in the app or from the custom keyboard across your favorite apps in your phone and macbook.

What you can do with Valcy:
- Dictate quickly and get polished text
- Use the Valcy keyboard in other apps
- Choose Local mode for private, on-device dictation
- Choose Cloud mode when you want stronger transcription and rewriting
- Keep your writing flow simple with a clean, focused interface

Valcy is built for everyday writing, notes, messages, and work.

If you use the keyboard, Apple Full Access is required so the keyboard can communicate with the main app and complete dictation correctly.
