Scribe is an AI writing assistant built right into your keyboard. No copying, no switching apps. Select your text, pick a style, and get polished writing in one tap. Works in Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Slack, Instagram, Notes, Telegram, and thousands more. 10 WRITING STYLES Fix: Polish grammar, spelling, and flow instantly. Professional: Polished, business ready writing. Friendly: Warm and approachable. Diplomatic: Thoughtful and carefully worded. Casual: Relaxed and natural sounding. Short: Cut the fluff, keep the meaning. Playful: Light, fun, and effortlessly charming. Persuasive: Subtle, non-pushy, naturally convincing. Gen Z: Modern, casual internet tone. Assertive: Clear, confident, and direct. Plus Translate (100+ languages) and Reply (smart context-aware responses). TRANSLATE WITHOUT LEAVING THE KEYBOARD Your language pair sits in the keyboard's top bar. Tap either side to change it, recents first and all 100+ behind them. The pair runs both ways, so their language and yours are the same two taps. AI WRITING EDITOR Open the Zen Editor to draft, refine, and polish longer writing before you send. VOICE INPUT IN THE ZEN EDITOR Talk instead of type. Open the Zen Editor inside the Scribe app, tap the mic, and your words appear as you speak. Then fix, restyle, or translate what you said and copy it in one tap. Your phone's own dictation works too. Spoken words are rarely written words, and closing that gap is what Scribe is for. Voice input is part of the Scribe app. The keyboard itself does not record audio. NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL YOU SAY SO Every rewrite is shown as a preview first. Removed words are struck through, new words are highlighted, so you see exactly what the AI touched. Accept it or reject it. Your draft is never overwritten behind your back. AUTO FIX WHEN YOU SWITCH, IF YOU WANT IT Turn on Auto fix in Settings and Scribe corrects whatever is already in the field when you switch to it. You still accept or reject the preview, and it only counts against your daily actions when you accept. INSIGHTS DASHBOARD Track your word count, writing actions, and time saved. PRIVACY FIRST Your text is sent for processing when you tap an action, or when you switch to Scribe with Auto fix turned on.
