About

HearFlow

Features
Read full description

Write with your voice, in any app. HearFlow is a keyboard that listens. Tap the microphone, speak, and clean text appears right where you were typing: WhatsApp, Mail, Notes, anywhere there is a text field. THE TEXT COMES OUT READY Not a raw transcript: HearFlow fixes punctuation and capitalization, applies your tone (formal, casual, very casual or excited) and gets your own words right. YOUR VOCABULARY Add names, acronyms and technical terms to the dictionary and HearFlow stops getting them wrong. With snippets, one spoken phrase becomes a full text. A FULL KEYBOARD QWERTY layout with shift, accented letters on long press, numbers and symbols. Type by hand when you want, dictate when it is faster. ON-DEVICE RECOGNITION Speech is recognized with Apple's Speech framework, on your iPhone whenever your language's iOS dictation model is installed on the device, so dictation keeps working offline. If that model is not installed, iOS uses Apple's speech recognition service for that dictation. Audio from the HearFlow keyboard never reaches HearFlow's servers. VOICE NOTES AND MAC DICTATIONS, IN ONE PLACE Share a voice note from WhatsApp, Voice Memos or Files to HearFlow and get its transcript, plus a short summary when you ask for one. Home also shows the dictations you make with HearFlow for Mac: play the audio, rename, share, or undo an AI edit. YOUR AUDIOS, YOUR CHOICE To keep your iPhone and Mac in sync, imported voice notes and Mac dictations, with their audio, are stored on HearFlow's servers for 90 days. You choose on first launch, and you can turn sync off or delete everything from Settings at any time. Optional AI cleanup and summaries send text only, never audio, and only after you agree. We never sell your data or use it for ads. YOUR NUMBERS Words dictated, real speed, day streaks: see how much time you are actually saving. Free trial, then Pro as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase. Auto-renewable subscription: it renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://hearflow.it/terms Privacy: https://hearflow.it/privacy
