About

vBoard

Features
Read full description

vBoard is a voice first, AI keyboard. Talk instead of type. Tap the mic and vBoard turns your speech into clean, punctuated text in any app — messages, email, notes, search. Then go further: rewrite, summarize, fix tone, or translate what you've written without leaving the keyboard. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Voice dictation — speak naturally and get accurate, formatted text in 70+ languages. • Rewrite & polish — clean up grammar, change tone, shorten or expand. • Translate — convert text between languages inline. • Voice editing — speak to transform selected text. • Custom prompts — save your own one-tap AI actions. • Clipboard & snippets — quick access to recent copies and saved text. PRIVATE BY DESIGN vBoard does not record or transmit what you type. Your keystrokes stay on your device. Audio and text are sent for AI processing only when you explicitly start a dictation or run an AI action — never in the background. No ads, no tracking. GETTING STARTED Add vBoard in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, then enable Full Access so the AI features can run. Switch to vBoard with the globe key in any app and tap the mic to start talking. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
