Murmur Keyboard vs HushTalk

Murmur turns your voice into text — entirely on your iPhone. No internet, no accounts, no data leaving your device. Powered by WhisperKit, Murmur runs a real speech recognition model locally, so your words stay yours. Use it as a standalone app or switch to the Murmur keyboard in any app — Messages, Notes, Mail, wherever you type. Tap the mic, speak naturally, and your transcription appears instantly. Most voice-to-text apps send your audio to the cloud. Murmur doesn't. It runs WhisperKit directly on your iPhone — no server, no account, no data collection. The new keyboard extension lets you dictate in any app, and v2.2 makes the whole flow feel faster and more polished in both light and dark mode. • 100% on-device transcription • Works offline, no cloud processing • Custom keyboard for dictation in any app • Smart warm/cold engine — fast when ready, clear when loading • Dark mode designed to feel intentional, not just inverted • Copy, share, or search your transcription history Your voice. Your words. Your device.

HushTalk is a private dictation keyboard for iPhone. Use it anywhere iOS shows a text field. Switch to the HushTalk keyboard, tap the mic, speak, tap stop, and Hush Talk inserts the transcript into the field you were already using. HushTalk is built around a simple privacy boundary: the keyboard extension never records audio, and dictation is transcribed locally on your iPhone. Because iOS does not allow third-party keyboard extensions to access the microphone directly, the main Hush Talk app owns the real microphone session while the keyboard sends start and stop commands through Apple's App Group system. Features - Voice typing from the HushTalk keyboard in iOS text fields. - Local speech-to-text on iPhone after the one-time speech model download. - Works across apps that support custom keyboards and text input. - Clear keyboard status for ready, recording, transcribing, inserted, and failed states. - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. - No server-side transcription. How it works 1. Install HushTalk. 2. Enable the HushTalk keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard. 3. Turn on Allow Full Access so the keyboard and app can share dictation state through the App Group. 4. Open HushTalk once and finish setup. 5. Return to any text field, switch to the HushTalk keyboard, tap the mic, speak, then tap stop. HushTalk is for people who want fast voice typing across apps while keeping speech processing on their own iPhone.
