Codictate

Read full description

Press a button, speak, and your words are transcribed and pasted into whatever app you're using. No internet required. No account. No data leaves your phone. Codictate is AI dictation that runs entirely on your device. The AI models run locally on your iPhone's Neural Engine and CPU, so your voice is never used to train AI models. HOW IT WORKS Codictate installs a system keyboard with a Dictate button. Tap it, speak, and on-device AI transcribes your speech in real time. The transcript is then inserted into your current text field. Two AI speech engines are included: - Parakeet TDT v3: Runs on the Neural Engine. Fast, lightweight, 95.7% accuracy on clean English audio. - Whisper base (quantized): Runs on CPU as a fallback. Multilingual support with a 57 MB model. You pick which AI model fits your needs. Switch anytime in settings. PRIVACY Everything runs on-device. Audio is never uploaded. There is no server, no analytics, no telemetry. Your recordings stay on your phone and are discarded after transcription. AI dictation without the cloud. FEATURES - On-device AI transcription (no internet needed) - System keyboard with one-tap dictation - Parakeet TDT v3 (Neural Engine, fast) - Whisper base-q5_1 (CPU, multilingual) - Works in any app that accepts keyboard input - Live Activity indicator while recording - Action Button and Shortcuts support REQUIREMENTS - iPhone with iOS 17.0 or later - Apple Silicon (Neural Engine required for Parakeet) - Approximately 57 MB for Whisper model or 500 MB for Parakeet model

Spock is an AI that does the work — end to end. Ask for anything and Spock takes it from a question to a finished result: it researches, builds the deliverable, and remembers what matters. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Go from a question to finished work — reports, presentations, spreadsheets, and charts, ready to use • Research anything — across the web and your own documents and past chats, with citations • Bring in your files when you need them — PDFs, spreadsheets, Word docs, and slides • Automate the routine — schedule Spock to research and deliver on its own • Connect your tools — Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint MEMORY THAT STICKS Tell Spock once and it remembers — across every conversation. It recalls what matters about you and can find anything you've shared or discussed. EVERY MODEL, OR FULLY PRIVATE Choose from leading AI models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, and open-source — or Spock's own private model that runs on infrastructure we operate for you. Your data isn't sent to outside AI providers unless you choose to. MAKE IT YOURS Save your repeatable workflows as Skills, and let Automations run them on a schedule. Spock fits the way you already work. BUILT FOR TEAMS Shared spaces, single sign-on, role-based and per-space access controls, and encrypted connections — ready for teams with real security needs.
