iSureType reimagines typing on iOS. A T9 multi-tap engine — backed by a 370,000-word dictionary and grammar-aware ranking — turns three or four taps into the word you meant. An on-device OCR wizard powered by Apple's Vision framework lifts text out of any photo, structures documents as Markdown, and extracts contact fields from business cards. Two Liquid Glass home-screen widgets put your most-used surfaces one tap away. iSureType is a subscription app: the keyboard, OCR, widgets, and every feature below require an active iSureType subscription. Try it all free for 7 days, then $39.99/year (US — pricing varies by region). Cancel anytime. PRIVACY BY CONSTRUCTION Every recognition path runs on your iPhone. No photos are uploaded. No typed text is logged. No third-party model weights are bundled. iSureType requests no network entitlement. For more details, see: • https://isuretype.com/privacy • https://isuretype.com/terms KEYBOARD • T9 disambiguation with contextual ranking and contraction expansion. • QWERTY mode with the literal you typed always available as chip 0. • Custom words, smart phrases (with categorised collapsible sections), autocorrect pairs — all editable in the host app, all yours. • Word Packs (Brands, Cities, Animals, Actors, Artists, National Parks) and Phrase Packs (Medicine, Legal) bundled and toggleable. OCR (Image Recognition) • Text mode — quick single-line transcription for signs, captions, receipts. • Document mode — paragraph-clustered output. On iOS 26 the wizard upgrades to RecognizeDocumentsRequest; you get structured Markdown with headings, ordered/unordered lists, and pipe tables. Export as .md to Files, iCloud Drive, or any document provider. • Business Card mode — Apple NSDataDetector + NLTagger pull Name / Title / Company / Email(s) / Phone(s) / Website(s) / Address(es) out of a scanned card. A touch-friendly mapping step lets you re-assign chips before commit. Save as .vcf, drop into Contacts.app, or copy the vCard body to the system pasteboard. WIDGETS (iOS 26 Liquid Glass) • Clipboard — recent captures with per-row pin / star / delete buttons, source-app badges, and a Capture-pasteboard-now footer. Small, Medium, Large. • Scan — one tile, three OCR modes, recent-scans list. Small is a tap-to-scan launcher; Medium and Large add three large finger- friendly glass buttons. POWER USERS • Profiles — duplicate, switch, customise. Tab order is per-profile. • Per-tab Siri shortcuts — "Scan this", "Learn new word", "Learn new phrase". • Background OCR — keep typing while a long document transcribes; toast confirms when it lands. • Accessibility-first — Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast all honoured. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or later (older OS support drops with this release for the Liquid Glass surface). • Allow Full Access on the keyboard so it can read the shared clipboard. iSureType has no network entitlement; Full Access is not used to send any data anywhere. SUBSCRIPTION • iSureType is an auto-renewable annual subscription. • Length: 1 year. Price: $39.99/year (US; prices vary by storefront), after a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
