AI Dictation vs MarkGlance

Turn your voice into useful text on your iPhone. AI Dictation is a voice-to-text app and keyboard for messages, email, notes, documents, and longer recordings. Start from the keyboard in apps that support third-party keyboards, or record directly in AI Dictation, then insert, copy, or share the finished text. DICTATE WITH LESS TYPING Open a text field, switch to the AI Dictation keyboard, and start speaking. Your finished transcription is ready to insert where you were writing. CHOOSE HOW YOUR SPEECH IS PROCESSED Use Cloud, Offline, or Automatic mode. On iOS 17 and later, you can download the offline model for on-device speech recognition. Cloud transcription sends audio only after you give permission. Optional cloud formatting may send the transcript to organize or clean up the result, even when speech recognition runs offline. MORE THAN BASIC VOICE TYPING Choose the result that fits what you are recording: • Dictation for direct speech-to-text • Notes for structured ideas and action items • Meetings for summaries, speaker labels, timestamps, and action items MAKE IT YOURS • Add names and specialized terms to your personal dictionary • Create voice shortcuts for text you use often • Search your recent transcription history • Replay locally saved recordings • Copy or share previous results KEEP TRACK WHILE YOU DICTATE On iOS 17 and later, a Live Activity shows when AI Dictation is listening or processing and gives you a quick way to stop. GET STARTED 1. Open AI Dictation and follow the setup guide. 2. Enable the AI Dictation keyboard in Settings. 3. Choose Cloud, Offline, or Automatic mode. 4. Open a supported text field, switch keyboards, and start speaking. Whether you are replying to a message, capturing an idea, or turning a longer conversation into notes, AI Dictation helps your words keep up with your thoughts.

MarkGlance is a minimalist Markdown viewer for iPhone and iPad — built to read documents calmly, without the visual noise that fills most editor apps. Open any .md file from the Files app, an email attachment, AirDrop, or the Share Sheet. Tap. Read. That's the loop. WHY MARKGLANCE • Editorial typography. Body text is set in a serif designed for long-form reading (New York / Iowan / Charter on iOS). Headings sit clearly in SF Pro. Code blocks render in SF Mono with syntax highlighting for 190+ languages. • Reflowing zoom — not pinch-to-zoom. The size slider re-wraps the document to your chosen size, the way a book does. Lines stay crisp at every step. No blurry magnification. • Light, Dark, and Auto themes. Your choice persists across launches. Auto follows iOS. • Print-quality PDF export. Tap Share to produce an A4 PDF with vector text, embedded fonts, justified body, real per-page margins, and content-aware page breaks. Selectable, searchable, AirDroppable. Around 10–18 KB per page. • Fully offline. No network calls. No analytics. No telemetry. No advertising. No accounts. The bundled rendering pipeline (marked.js, highlight.js, Open Sans) ships inside the app and runs on-device. • File association. Markdown files (.md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .mkdn) open in MarkGlance from anywhere iOS can hand them off — Files, Mail, AirDrop, Messages, the Share Sheet, iCloud Drive. WHAT'S RENDERED • GitHub-flavored Markdown • Syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks • Tables with column alignment • Task lists with checkboxes • Multi-line and nested blockquotes • External links open in Safari; in-document anchors stay in-app WHAT'S NOT IN MARKGLANCE No editor. No syncing. No collaboration. No accounts. No subscription. MarkGlance does one thing — render your Markdown beautifully — and gets out of the way. PRIVACY Zero data collection. MarkGlance never sends anything to any server, period. Read the full policy at https://parzival74.github.io/markglance-privacy/ CONTACT Questions or feedback: zugzwang74@gmail.com
