Your voice, typed instantly. VOR turns what you say into clean, ready-to-use text anywhere on your iPhone. Hold the button, speak naturally, and VOR transcribes and polishes your words in about a second. It does more than transcribe. VOR removes the ums, uhs, and stutters, fixes your punctuation and grammar, and even corrects you when you backtrack. Say "meet Tuesday, wait, Wednesday" and it simply types "meet Wednesday." WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT Fast. Transcription happens as you speak, so your text is ready the moment you stop. Clean. AI formatting turns messy speech into polished writing. Natural. Speak the way you talk and let VOR handle the cleanup. Private. Your audio is used only to create your text, then discarded. Nothing is sold, ever. PERFECT FOR Firing off emails and messages without typing. Capturing notes and ideas the moment they hit. Writing longer text faster than your thumbs ever could. Speaking is up to three times faster than typing. VOR makes every word count.
