Blitztext brings fast German dictation to EVERY app – messages, mail, notes, wherever you are typing. Please note: Blitztext is made for German. Speech recognition is set to German and the app interface is in German. Instead of the built-in iOS dictation, Blitztext uses its own keyboard with push-to-talk: hold the microphone key, speak, release – the text appears automatically at the cursor. STANDARD: COMPLETELY FREE & ON-DEVICE In “Blitz Live” mode, speech recognition runs directly on your iPhone/iPad (Apple’s own on-device technology). No cloud, no subscription, no waiting – your voice never leaves the device.
