Hallig vs Klartext

You speak. Hallig writes it down. The text is in your clipboard. Open the app. It's already recording. Speak. Tap Done. Then paste the text wherever you need it: messages, notes, mail, any text field. YOUR WORDS, UNCHANGED Hallig does not rewrite what you say. No filler words removed, no grammar corrected, nothing "improved". Punctuation and capitalisation come from the recognition. After that, nothing else touches your text. Transcription, not interpretation. ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking. Your voice never leaves your device. Recognition runs on the iPhone itself; a model is downloaded once, after that Hallig needs no internet for it. And if you don't want even your device to keep a copy: in Privacy Mode the text goes to your clipboard, but neither the recording nor the text is saved. FEATURES • Automatically in your clipboard: no selecting, no copying • Opening it means recording: no start button, no extra step • Read along live while you speak • History: every dictation stays, and stays searchable • Play the recording, copy the text, share it or delete it • Three recognitions to choose from: up to 99 languages • For iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch: one purchase • Light and dark QUICK ACCESS • Siri and Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, Hallig" starts recording • Action Button: one press is enough • Tap the back of your iPhone twice or three times (set up via Shortcuts) • Widgets: start recording from the Home or Lock Screen • Dynamic Island: timer and stop button while you record APPLE WATCH Record on your watch, without your iPhone in hand. As soon as your iPhone is nearby, it turns the recording into text and puts it in the clipboard. From there Apple's Universal Clipboard carries it to your other Apple devices. Both devices need the same Apple Account, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on. The transfer from the watch takes a moment. LANGUAGES The built-in recognition covers around 22 languages and shows your words live as you speak. If you need more, download a model: Parakeet for 25 European languages, WhisperKit for up to 99. Which recognitions are available depends on your device. PRICE Free: 5 dictations a day, history of the last 7 days. Pro: unlimited dictations, full history. One purchase, no subscription. Hallig has no servers. No running costs for us means no subscription for you. Privacy: https://diktatapp.com/en/privacy/ Support: https://diktatapp.com/en/support/

Speak instead of typing: tap the mic, talk — polished text lands in any app, in your language. Everything happens on your iPhone: recognition runs on Apple's large speech model right on the device, and AI cleanup removes filler words and slips and sets clean punctuation — powered by Apple Intelligence, right on your iPhone. No account, no server, no tracking: by default, your dictation goes nowhere. For mixed languages and technical vocabulary there's optional cloud recognition with your own key; for cleanup without Apple Intelligence, an online model through your own account with the provider — both clearly labeled, both optional. The Klartext keyboard is deliberately not a second typing keyboard — it's a lean dictation panel: a big mic, space, delete, return, and (with AI cleanup active) your mode right on the keyboard: Message · Email · Note · AI prompt · your own modes. DICTATION THAT DOESN'T CUT OFF Unlike built-in dictation, recording keeps running when you switch apps: the keyboard is just the display, the mic lives in the main app. Look something up, switch apps, come back, tap stop — the text is in your field. And no word gets lost: recordings stay on your device for up to 24 hours — listen again or re-transcribe. Can be turned off. WHY KLARTEXT • Everything on device: recognition and cleanup run locally — on a plane, in a dead zone, in the basement • Private by design: no account, no server, no tracking — by default, your dictation never leaves your iPhone • Recognition that learns: correct a word once and your spelling sticks — dictionary and replacements included • Custom modes: create up to three of your own, each with a line on format and tone — requests like "no emojis" or "all lowercase" work right on the device; pick them on the keyboard, and built-in modes can be renamed (with AI cleanup) • Great for AI prompts: dictate instructions for ChatGPT, Claude, or coding agents — technical terms stay exactly as you said them • Read-aloud as a bonus: Klartext reads copied text aloud, even with the screen locked — pick your voice, optionally OpenAI voices via your own key (clearly labeled) • Widgets and stats: words today and weekly overview • Built in Germany, perfected for German — and takes dictation in many languages • The app is now available in 16 languages FAIRLY PRICED Every week, 2,500 dictated words are free — permanently, no account needed. Only delivered dictations count; read-aloud, history and dictionary never do. If you dictate more, get Klartext Unlimited: one yearly subscription, one price, cancel anytime — no other tiers. The price is shown in the app and applies to your region. The subscription pays for development — there is no Klartext server. If you first downloaded Klartext before version 2.0, you keep everything unlimited, no subscription. WHAT YOUR IPHONE NEEDS Dictation works on any iPhone running iOS 26. On-device AI cleanup needs Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and newer) — otherwise an online model through your own account can take over, if you like.
