Please fix. *2026-02-16* It completely stopped working after I updated to iOS 26.2.1. I’ve also noticed that SpeakOn often fails to transcribe since that same update. **Developer response:** Hey! I've shipped several updates since your review - the latest is v2.2.0 with Apple Watch support, keyboard input fix, and a bunch of improvements. Please try updating - things should work much better now. If you still run into issues, reach out at support@vivadicta.com and I'll help sort it out! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-07-17* This app is incredible. It does what it says it does really well. You can change the prompt or preset as you're talking. Now I can talk in English and my output comes out in Spanish automatically. I use Parakeet v2 for normal English transcriptions (free) with no cleanup and run it through Gemini 3.5 via API when I need translations, which I also believe it’s free. It's very handy that there's a keyboard alongside the button so you can edit the text if the transcription doesn't come out as you wanted it. I like how you can set different presets, not only for the transcription model and the processor but also for the different prompts. It seems the creator has thought out different things. I know this app will just continue to get better, so I can't recommend it enough!! The fact that this app is free for iOS compelled me to buy the lifetime version on the Mac and tell all my family and friends about it. I’m shocked more people don’t know about this app, despite being more competent than some paid versions out there. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support! If you have questions - don't hesitate to reach out ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app for real time translation *2026-06-24* Fantastic tool to improve productivity and break language barriers! I’ve been using the app for several months and been very impressed. It accurately converts my speech into text even when I speak at a natural pace. The interface is clean, user-friendly, and easy to navigate, making it simple to start recording and transcribing right away. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-06-10* I am writing this entire review using this app, and I don't expect that I will need to change any formatting or correct any mistakes. It just works. It's as good as the best speech-to-text apps that I've used on MacOS. The keyboard works perfectly and it's an incredibly polished app. I literally have no notes. This is simply phenomenal. Kudos to the developer. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions about the app. ### 5/5 — Dictation keyboard that “just works” *2026-05-12* One of the most feature-rich yet simplistic dictation keyboard applications I've used and that includes Spokenly -- closest competitor app. It’s got all the features you would need in the simplest settings layout so far as of today. And it is the best dictation keyboard out of the numerous I've used on iOS and macOS. I also really love the quick dictation model switch so I can switch between specific language modes. Even if the network environment is poor, I can switch back to local dictation right from the keyboard without going into the app. It's also the least laggy of the many dictation iOS apps I've tried, with the immediate complements of haptic feedbacks. There's also even the holding spacebar to move the cursor function just like in iOS. 10/10 power user recommended **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app for real time translation *2026-05-09* Fantastic tool to improve productivity and break language barriers! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome app… *2026-02-18* One of the best app on this topic, it’s strange that it’s so underrated. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
