## What is Whispr?

Talk naturally and Whispr types it for you, in any app. Whispr is a voice-to-text keyboard for iPhone that turns speech into clean, ready-to-send writing. Speech-to-text runs entirely on your iPhone: it works offline, nothing is uploaded, and there's no account to create.

NEW IN 2.3: A KEYBOARD THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

• Rebuilt to feel like the built-in iPhone keyboard: touch areas and timing measured to match, so the key under your finger is the key you get.
• Hold the space bar and slide to move the cursor like a trackpad.
• One-handed mode and landscape layouts, plus number pad, email and web address layouts when an app asks for them.
• Glide typing, and hold a letter for accents like é, ñ and ü.
• Chinese pinyin keyboards, Simplified and Traditional, with a character candidate bar.
• Autocorrect only fixes real misspellings, and delete undoes a correction.
• Add a name or term to boosted phrases right from the keyboard.
• The Action Button types straight into your text field when the Whispr keyboard is open.

SAY IT NATURALLY. GET IT WRITTEN.

AI cleanup
Whispr removes the ums, false starts and repeats, keeps the last version when you correct yourself, and fixes grammar and punctuation.
• "Let's meet on Sunday, oh sorry, Monday at three thirty" becomes "Let's meet on Monday at 3:30 PM."
• Say "priya dot nair at acmecorp dot io" and get priya.nair@acmecorp.io.
AI cleanup is for English dictation, runs entirely on your iPhone, and turns on or off with one switch.

Boosted phrases
Teach Whispr the names, brands and terms you use, and it spells them your way every time. Boosted phrases work for English dictation.

VOICE TYPING IN EVERY APP

Use the Whispr keyboard in Messages, Mail, Notes, your chat apps and any app with a text field. Tap Speak, talk, tap Done, and your words land at the cursor. No copying, no switching apps, and your music keeps playing.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your voice is transcribed on your iPhone with on-device speech models. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there's no account, and what you type stays on your iPhone. It even works in airplane mode.

A KEYBOARD THAT KEEPS UP

• 13 keyboard layouts: English, Spanish, French (AZERTY and QWERTY), German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, and Chinese pinyin (Simplified and Traditional). Autocorrect and word suggestions are for English.
• Three styles: Standard with every key, Compact with a big Speak button, or Minimal with no keys at all.
• Word suggestions, and autocorrect that learns where your fingers land and respects your contacts and text replacements. Prefer exact typing? Switch Auto-Correction off.
• Emoji search, and your clips one tap away.

MORE THAN DICTATION

• Action Button, Control Center and Lock Screen: press to dictate without leaving your app. With the Whispr keyboard up, your words are typed into the text field; otherwise they're copied, ready to paste.
• Voice shortcuts: say "my address" and Whispr writes the whole thing.
• Clips: your clipboard history, one tap away on the keyboard.
• Notes: dictate a thought, edit it, then copy or share it.
• Library: keep dictations and clips on your iPhone for as long as you choose, from never to forever.
• Word filter: filter offensive words and add your own blocked words, or switch it off. Your call.

SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE

Choose the voice model that fits you. Elite gives the highest accuracy in 25 European languages. Precision covers 31 languages, including Chinese, Korean, Hindi and Arabic. Universal reaches 1600+ languages. Download once and dictate offline.

FREE TO START

Whispr is free with 4,000 words every week and 3 voice shortcuts.
• Whispr Pro (monthly): unlimited words and unlimited voice shortcuts.
• Whispr Ultra (one-time purchase): everything in Pro, yours for life, no subscription.

### 5/5 — I'm writing this review through my whisper. You get keyboard and voice together

*2026-10-08*

I've been using wisp flow, which has been pretty much very fast app, but what I realized is The keyboard is missing when I enable and disable wispr flow. 

But this app you can use your keyboard and voice at the same time naturally.

The reason this app is great is it's pretty real time and it does its job really immaculately well. I'm very happy with that. Also, this would sound basically like it is AI generated, only for the reason that it is polishing my language of ums and oops.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for all the support ! We look forward to bringing more to our users. Keep the feedback coming in and we are all in ears of what you’re looking for. 
Thank you once again! Happy Whispr’ng!

### 5/5 — I’d actually pay more

*2026-10-06*

Yes, I said it. I would actually pay more because to the original idea from where this came from, it looks great in commercials, but when you actually try to use it on a keyboard and having to flip back and forth when trying to talk, it leaves things to be desired. The private AI dictation, the off-line use here really makes this voice to text keyboard great, and at the same time, the publisher and creator is always open for comments and suggestions. You don’t get that all the time. Definitely a great app

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support and a great feedback. We look forward to using this product and provide us more feedback for the product improvement. We are committed to serve our customers the best user experience and satisfaction. Rest assured. Thank you very much once again. Please feel free to reach out to us for any comments, critiques, or improvements, and even feature requests, we are more than happy to accommodate those. We have some more exciting lineup of features coming. Stay tuned.

### 5/5 — Great app good price

*2026-06-04*

Great alternative to Wispr flow. What it lacks in the formatting, although it will come soon I’m told, it makes up for with accuracy and price. $30 lifetime is a no brainer as these things go.

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2026-06-01*

Thanks for the quick response! I only sent an email this afternoon pointing out the errors and making a suggestion, and by this evening there was already an update and everything had been fixed – a must-have!!🤝

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the feedback and we truly take it to the core. Our latest update include a new model called "Elite". This model has the best accuracy for Russian. I am sure you will love the new model. Please provide your feedback again after trying out the new model and I am sure you will be impressed. We are looking forward to hear from you!

We are constantly upgrading our models. Stay tuned for more update! Thank you very much once again for your feedback and looking forward to hearing from you soon!

### 5/5 — Great so far

*2026-05-08*

App has a ton of potential and a dev who truly cares about UX. Can’t wait to see how this continues to develop! Really enjoying it right now!

### 1/5 — Даже разочарован.

*2026-04-15*

Я вообще не понимаю, за что люди берут деньги и как это приложение попало сюда пройдя модерацию, но оно у меня не заработало. Попробовал несколько раз. Перезагружал эти модели. Все без толку. Может быть, просто не поддерживает мой язык. Но четыре тысячи слов ограничения, это, конечно, интересная бизнес-модель.

**Developer response:** Hi thank you for the feedback. We would like to understand which model did you choose? "Elite" model does support Ukrainian, but might suffer a bit on accuracy. We are launching a new update very soon and you should be able to see better support for your language. In the meantime, you can try our "Universal" model and it may have better accuracy but sensitive to noise.

### 1/5 — Who approved this app????

*2026-02-12*

It doesnt even work.

**Developer response:** Can you please provide more details on what doesn’t work ?
