Cue is a dictation keyboard for people who would rather talk than type. Add the Cue keyboard once and it works everywhere you can type: Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, your browser. Tap the microphone key, say what you mean, and tap again when you are done. Cue inserts clean text. The ums and the false starts are gone. The punctuation is already there. It reads like you wrote it carefully, not like a transcript. HOW IT WORKS iOS does not give keyboards access to the microphone, so Cue records from its own app. Start a session in Cue, then dictate from the Cue keyboard in any other app while that session is open. LIVE CONVERSATION Open Cue and just talk. Ask about your day, think out loud, change your mind mid-sentence and interrupt whenever you want. Cue keeps up. A DICTIONARY THAT LEARNS YOUR WORDS Teach Cue the names, products, and jargon it should always get right, so you stop correcting the same word every week. YOUR HISTORY, ON YOUR PHONE Every dictation is saved locally so you can recover text you inserted somewhere you cannot get back to. It stays on the device and is never uploaded. Delete any entry permanently. HONEST ABOUT PRIVACY Dictation audio is sent to Cue's servers to be transcribed, and it is not stored afterward. Your dictation history and your personal dictionary stay on your iPhone. There is no advertising SDK and no third-party tracking in the app. Cue is free to start. Paid plans lift the monthly limits.
