Phonic Dictation vs Keyda

Phonic is a minimal dictation app for iPhone. Add the Phonic keyboard once. Then in any text field — Messages, Notes, Mail, anywhere — tap the keyboard's mic button and speak. Phonic transcribes your voice and inserts the text right where your cursor is. Three transcription options: • On-device — Whisper running entirely on your iPhone via Core ML. Nothing leaves your device. No API key. No internet. • Groq (default for cloud) — sub-second transcription quality with your own free Groq API key. • OpenAI — transcription through OpenAI's Whisper API with your own key. That's it. No accounts, no cloud-stored transcripts, no advertising, no analytics. You bring your own API key when using the cloud options; your voice and text never touch any Phonic-controlled servers. Phonic shows a level meter so you can see your voice register, a clear timer for armed sessions, and a basic editing keyboard so you can fix small mistakes without switching back to the system keyboard.

Keyda — The AI Keyboard That Thinks With You Write smarter, speak to type, and create images — without ever leaving the app you're in. Keyda is an AI-powered keyboard that works everywhere you type on iPhone and iPad. Whether you're on WhatsApp, replying to email, posting to social, taking notes or filling a form, Keyda brings AI, your voice and an image studio directly into your keyboard. Most AI tools make you leave your app: open a chatbot, copy, paste, generate, switch back. Keyda removes that. Fixing a sentence that used to take seven steps and nearly a minute takes three — and you stay exactly where you are. IMAGE STUDIO — NEW Describe a picture and Keyda draws it. A watercolour of a rainy street, a logo concept, a birthday card, a product mockup — ready in seconds, in whatever shape you need. • Start from your own photo and have Keyda build on it • Your description is expanded into a fuller prompt automatically, so the result matches what you meant • Every image is saved to your account and waiting on your other devices • Lite includes 25 images a month, Pro includes 50, the free trial includes 5 TALK TO TYPE — VOICE TYPING & VOICE ASSISTANT Tap the mic and speak. It's a full assistant, not just dictation: • Speak to type in any app • Change settings by voice — "switch to dark mode," "turn off haptics" • Pull up a saved note — "paste my meeting notes" • Create reminders and notes hands-free • Ask the AI out loud — "write a polite reply declining this invite" Smart self-correction turns "my age is 29, oh sorry, 30" into "30." Dictation is free — no subscription required. SMART ASSIST AI Rewrite for clarity, fix grammar and spelling, shift tone from casual to professional, draft emails and messages, summarise long content, and expand rough notes into finished text — for work, study or everyday chat. A PRODUCTIVITY WORKSPACE IN YOUR KEYBOARD • Notes — ideas, prompts and reminders inside the keyboard • Clipboard History — recent text, links and snippets, one tap away • Translate on Paste — convert content before you send it • Inline Math & Dates — calculate and convert without another app • Conversation Memory — context carries forward, so you never re-explain • Reply in Your Voice — suggestions that sound like you, not a template PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sensitive features are built to keep as much as possible on your device. Voice input is active only while you're recording, transcribed by Apple's Speech Recognition, and never stored by us. Stickers can be generated by a fully offline, on-device model (Lite/Pro, one-time download), or instantly in the cloud if you'd rather skip it. Photos never leave your device unless you attach one yourself. Sign out and every note, clipboard entry, API key and AI memory is wiped immediately. MADE YOURS Nine handcrafted themes — Classic, Midnight, Aurora, Coral, Forest, Ocean, Sunset, Rose and Carbon — sync across the app the moment you switch. However many smart features run in the background, typing stays fast and smooth. Student, professional, creator, freelancer or business owner: Keyda cuts repetitive work every day — better emails, faster replies, instant translation, images on demand, organised notes and clipboard history you can actually find. No app switching. No endless copy-pasting. No interruptions. Just a smarter keyboard that works, listens and draws — everywhere you type. Made in India. Built for everyone.
