About

BuzzAI

Talk the way you talk — the bee writes it clean. And it records your meetings and transcribes them by speaker into a full dialogue. BuzzAI is a voice AI keyboard for iPhone. It works inside any app: messengers, email, notes, the browser, your work task trackers. Tap into a text field, press the dictate key, say it — and the text is already there, punctuated and split into paragraphs. Speaking is 4 times faster than typing. Unlike built-in dictation, the bee doesn't take shorthand — it turns speech into writing. We all say "um", "you know" and "like", trip over words and restart a sentence halfway through — none of it survives into the text. What you get is not a stream of consciousness on paper, but clean, coherent writing you can send without rereading. Walking, on the train, standing in a queue, or whispering next to a sleeping child — the bee hears you and puts what you said in order. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE BUZZAI • Filler words, stumbles and false starts are gone: only what you meant lands in the field. • Finished text, not a raw transcript: punctuation, paragraphs and lists in place. • Your words stay your words: nothing is paraphrased, no synonyms swapped in, nothing quietly translated. • Over 100 languages, and the language is detected on its own — nothing to switch. • No voice commands. Speak the way you would to a person — "comma" and "new line" are the bee's job. • It works everywhere you already write: one keyboard for every app. • Still a normal keyboard: letters, word suggestions, typo correction. It just has a voice now. • Dictation history: copy a text again, and if recognition failed, retry it from the saved recording. • One account on iPhone, Mac and Windows: dictate on the road, and it is already on your computer. • No ads, and no watching what you do inside your apps. MEETINGS • Record a meeting with your iPhone's microphone, right in the app. • Already have a recording? Add it from Voice Memos or from Files. • Meetings are transcribed by speaker into a full dialogue — who said what — with a summary, decisions and tasks. GREAT FOR • Replying to messages on the move • Dictating a long email on the road — and having it come out as an email, not a voice message typed out • Writing a detailed prompt for an AI without shrinking the idea down to two lines • Catching an idea after a meeting or before bed, before it slips away • Those moments when the thought is ready and your thumbs cannot keep up • Recording a meeting on your phone so nothing that was said gets lost About Full Access: iOS will ask you to turn it on, otherwise the keyboard cannot send your recording for recognition and bring the text back. It is used for nothing else — what you type by hand, we do not read, do not store and do not send anywhere.
