Studio can assist you with delivering presentations, making videos, teaching classes, giving speeches, and so much more! With it, you can write your scripts in Script Writer with help from AI (this uses Apple Intelligence, which is only available on supported devices). After you write your script, you’ll be able to move it over to the Teleprompter tool, which allows you to keep time without letting you go into the habit of speeding up and slowing down. The Teleprompter is very customizable. You can change the colors of the background, text, and cursor, and even change the font size and speed. Speak confidently and engage your audience with Studio, the powerful teleprompter app.

iSureType reimagines typing on iOS. A T9 multi-tap engine — backed by a 370,000-word dictionary and grammar-aware ranking — turns three or four taps into the word you meant. An on-device OCR wizard powered by Apple's Vision framework lifts text out of any photo, structures documents as Markdown, and extracts contact fields from business cards. Two Liquid Glass home-screen widgets put your most-used surfaces one tap away. iSureType is a subscription app: the keyboard, OCR, widgets, and every feature below require an active iSureType subscription. Try it all free for 7 days, then $39.99/year (US — pricing varies by region). Cancel anytime. PRIVACY BY CONSTRUCTION Every recognition path runs on your iPhone. No photos are uploaded. No typed text is logged. No third-party model weights are bundled. iSureType requests no network entitlement. For more details, see: • https://isuretype.com/privacy • https://isuretype.com/terms KEYBOARD • T9 disambiguation with contextual ranking and contraction expansion. • QWERTY mode with the literal you typed always available as chip 0. • Custom words, smart phrases (with categorised collapsible sections), autocorrect pairs — all editable in the host app, all yours. • Word Packs (Brands, Cities, Animals, Actors, Artists, National Parks) and Phrase Packs (Medicine, Legal) bundled and toggleable. OCR (Image Recognition) • Text mode — quick single-line transcription for signs, captions, receipts. • Document mode — paragraph-clustered output. On iOS 26 the wizard upgrades to RecognizeDocumentsRequest; you get structured Markdown with headings, ordered/unordered lists, and pipe tables. Export as .md to Files, iCloud Drive, or any document provider. • Business Card mode — Apple NSDataDetector + NLTagger pull Name / Title / Company / Email(s) / Phone(s) / Website(s) / Address(es) out of a scanned card. A touch-friendly mapping step lets you re-assign chips before commit. Save as .vcf, drop into Contacts.app, or copy the vCard body to the system pasteboard. WIDGETS (iOS 26 Liquid Glass) • Clipboard — recent captures with per-row pin / star / delete buttons, source-app badges, and a Capture-pasteboard-now footer.
