EXCELLENT
I’ve owned an iPhone for 5 years this is the first time I’ve EVER wrote a review. This is a damn good app and free?? AND no ads? Are you kidding me. Kudos to the developer thank you for this jewel of an app.

Best app I’ve found
Works grest and is free
Excellent!
Running great with a local model on iOS 18. Also working great on MacOS 15 after manually adding the mic permission needed via the cli!
Yes yes yes
Free free free and so good. Thank you!
Really good. Use it everyday
Amazing app
I very rarely leave reviews but this app is changing how I interact with my Mac/phone
This is an awesome app and while the developer might be a small shop provided excellent customer service when I needed it. This is tool I highly recommend it. I'm doing a lot less typing and a lot more talking and it actually works well. Apple dictation I struggled with for years, and I still struggle with it -- just nowhere near as accurate as VoiceInk. I also compared it to whisper flow and whisper flow is fine, it works but it's a lot more money and it's all cloud based this app respect your privacy ; highly recommended

Forces cloud transcription.
An update was pushed where it turned on cloud transcription. You turn it off and then the app keeps turning it back on as if they're trying to force your data into the cloud.
App crashes using local models
As long as we are using the VoiceInk as default, provider app works fine as soon as I switched to the local models like parakeet it crashes
Prakash’s AI voice apps are the best on the market
Superb iOS app. It hasn’t failed me once. The Mac app is equally reliable, accurate and chock full of features. Best AI voice-to-text app on the market, and I’ve tried them all (and I do mean ALL).
Apple’s Ai slop ruined it
Not very intuitive to use. FEB2026
Apple’s Ai slop ruined it, that sums it up. Whatever Apple did with the iOS 12 6.3 that ruined dictation also affects this app.
(Apple, stop giving put our personal info.!) If the anyone from the app contacts me I will knock off more stars.

As good as the pay to play apps
Just as good as the paid AI dictation apps. Love that you can pick your writing style like the pro versions. Dictation is flawless. The only hassle is swiping back from the app to messages to start dictating—sometimes it’s not super sensitive and you need a couple of swipes. That's my only complaint. ★★★★★ Recommend to everyone. Don't waste money on other apps. I'm using it now in chat mode. I love that it handles grammar for me, and I can be more formal with email mode.

Finally a STT app that supports offline models and doesn’t break.
I personally do suggest it specially for offline model. It’s super fast. I have an iPhone 17 and I couldn’t find an app which supports Parakeet models and it works. Thank You.
Good AI bad UX
Model performance pretty good but ux is not intuitivr
Blocked when vpn is ON - EVEN IN LOCAL MODE
Does noy work when vpn is on. This is very strange : With local model, it shouldnt need acces to intetnet.
Phone app sucks
Love the desktop version but the transcription here fails or time out more than the times it works. Lost ideas and really impact my workflow. Gonna try other transcription apps.
Match Mac version
I'm giving this 5 stars just based on potential because the developer is super active and amazing for his Mac version, but in its current form, the iOS app just seems neglected and is not being updated that often. It's kind of buggy.
Love privacy
I love how the app is working. I personally use it without a keyboard and it is still very very good for me. I wonder if it is possible to add an iOS shortcuts feature so I can start the app in recording mode like ChatGPT “start voice”. I mean I don’t need a chat, I need it to just start with active recording. If that is possible I would also love a shortcut for stopping the recording. Intent for that is to be able to start and stop recordings via shortcuts. Thank you! Keep up the great work.

Love this app
It's a bit buggy right now—sometimes the keyboard crashes and I have to force quit the app. That said, I love that it's fully local and I've been enjoying it on my Mac for a while.
Thanks for the iOS app; I can't wait to see what's next.

More local model and a clear quota
This dictation app is pretty nice, and I think it's better than several competing apps that require a subscription. I believe this approach is ideal because the local model for transcription is already quite powerful.
However, I still have three concerns or suggestions. First, there needs to be more local models. The current local model, Parakeet, doesn't seem to work well for multi-language use. Although it's supposed to, it performed poorly for my specific use case, so I hope to see additional local models.
Second, it currently shows a percentage usage of its default local model, but the total quota for that isn't clear. Hopefully, this can be clarified.
Third, the default local model offers a language selection option. However, the other local model, Parakeet, does not allow me to select the language. Most of the time, it detects the wrong language, which also prevents the corresponding enhancement using an external API key from working.
In fact, this entire review was written using this app, which already suggests its high accuracy and quality.
