Local Toolbox is a privacy-first, fully offline utility app that now includes 203 practical tools for daily life, work, local records, study, image tasks, PDF and media handling, and professional use. It brings measurement tools, timers, date and unit converters, text utilities, developer tools, finance and record tools, field and workplace helpers, image tools, PDF and file tools, media tools, and fun utilities into one app. Many small tools that would normally require a separate download, or an upload to a cloud website, are already here and run entirely on device. Everything runs locally on your device. No login, no internet required, no cloud sync, no content upload, and no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases getting in the way. Text from image, document scanning and auto redaction are all done on device by iOS itself, so your photos, PDFs and videos never need to be handed to an AI service. It is built for people who want practical tools without privacy trade-offs. V2.3 adds ten local tools: Resize to Target (exact pixels or file size), Convert Image Format (JPEG/PNG/HEIC), Document Scanner (auto edge detection and shadow cleanup), Text from Image (offline OCR with txt export), QR & Barcode Scan (and Wi-Fi QR creation), Auto Redact (card numbers, IBANs, emails, phone numbers, IPs and faces), Images to PDF, PDF Page Tools (merge, split, rotate, delete, export pages), File Hash Check (SHA-256/SHA-1/MD5/CRC32) and Compress Video (size limit, trim, extract audio).

说话出字。顺便,告别哑巴英语。 卡皮语音输入法是一个中文语音输入工具。说完点一下,文字就出来了——标点补齐、语气对、难写的字写得对。而你本来就要说的那句话,说完顺手就能变成你的英文教材。 【你每天说过的话,后来都能成为英文教材】 学英语最难的不是不会,是没时间、也不知道该练什么。这里不用另找时间,也不用面对一个空白对话框——你本来就要表达的那句话,正是最值得留下来练习的素材。 说出来:用中文自然表达,你真正想说的那句话 留下来:自动给出英文说法,收进你的句子本 学而时习之:先自己说一遍,再揭晓答案;长句按意群拆开,值得记的词组单独收起来 多听几遍:连播把它们一条条放下去,句间留出跟读的时间——洗碗、走路时也能磨耳朵 它是顺便,不是作业。不记连续天数、不排名、不催你。默认关着,你自己决定要不要开。 【说完就是成稿】 点一下开始,说完再点一下。标点会自动补上,疑问句结尾是问号,不用回头再改一遍。 【说中文,出来的不一定是英文】 挑一种目标语言,之后你每说一句,输入框里落下的就是那种语言——不用先想「这句英语怎么说」,也不用切到翻译软件再贴回来。英式和美式是分开的两项:拼错一个 u 不要紧,说错一句当地人不会那么讲的话,对方是听得出来的。 【总被听错的词,自己加】 每个人都有那么几个词是语音输入永远写不对的——同事的名字、行业的术语、常去的地名。把正确写法填进「我的词」就够了,它会自己算出所有同音的错法,不用你一个个去猜。 【难写的专有名词已经内置】 人名、地名、专业术语这类最容易被听错的词内置了一大批,并且会从网上更新,不用等 App 出新版。其中圣经六十六卷书名和常见的教会用语做得特别细,写法跟着和合本走:「以弗所书」不会变成「以福所书」,经文引用还会整理成《约翰福音》3:16 这样的写法。 【在任何 App 里都能用】 配套键盘可以在微信、信息、备忘录里直接说话出字。中间一颗大圆是说话,四个方向分别是 AI 助手、设置、退格和完整键盘。里面还有拼音、同音字替换、常用语和快捷回复——住址、手机号、常说的那几句话,一按就填。 【默认全部在手机上完成】 语音识别模型随 App 一起打包。默认设置下,录音和转写都在这台设备上完成,飞行模式下照常可用,我们的服务器上没有你的任何内容。也正因如此,这个 App 没有账号系统。 —— 以下几项要填一个你自己的 AI key,都默认关着 —— · 说完给我英文反馈——上面那条英文学习线,靠它 · 润色——断句、去口水词、把说岔了重来的那半截删掉 · 翻译——说中文直接出英文,也可以选别的语言 · 指令模式——说一句「把他改成她」,它就照着改 · 推荐回复——把对方的话复制过来,给你几条回复挑一条 · 增强识别——口音重、本机听不准时,把这一段交给云端听 · 让 AI 对我有些了解——写下你常说的人名地名。语音识别听人名最容易错,先告诉它,它拿不准时就有了偏向 key 是你自己在 AI 服务商那里申请的,从你的手机直接发给他们,不经过我们的服务器。App 里有一页手把手教怎么弄,不用懂技术也照着做得来。 这几项发出去的是转写好的文字,不是你的录音。会把录音本身送出去的只有两项——「增强识别」和「同声翻译」,两项都默认关着。不论是文字还是录音,第一次发送之前 App 会先问你一次:这次要发的是什么、发给哪一家、拿去做什么;你按了同意才发,之后随时可以撤回。 —— 关于键盘的「允许完全访问」:开启它,键盘才读得到你在 App 里设置的词表和常用语;你开了增强识别的话,也才能在键盘里直接录音识别。键盘不记录、不上传你的击键。不开启时键盘仍可正常打字,只是上述几项功能不可用。 隐私政策:https://yuyin.capibala.app/privacy
