## What is VocalType Offline?

VocalType Offline is an iOS keyboard that provides secure and private dictation into apps.. Rather than using cloud services to perform dictation requests like many keyboards, VocalType Offline leverages Apple's powerful SFSpeechRecognizer to listen to what you're saying, on device, every time.

No internet is required, so your sensitive information isn't sent to the cloud for all to see. You can rest assured that your words will remain confidential between you, your device, and the app you're typing into.

Features:
- Offline, unlimited-length voice dictation
- Internal working data is encrypted for added security
- Ad free and tracking free. The developer will know nothing about what you say.
- In addition to free style text, VocalType supports dictating phone numbers, URLs, email addresses, and more.
