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.

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.
