Dictate Keyboard (Whisper AI)

DevEmperor

About this app

Dictate is a simple yet powerful keyboard, which converts spoken language into text. It uses an extremely powerful speech recognition AI in the background and therefore supports all common national languages. What's more, you don't have to dictate punctuation because Whisper adds it itself. You can even sing in text and it will be recognized correctly.

Other features include:
- custom rewording instructions (translation, summarizing, style-changing, ...) using GPT-4 Omni (and many other models) 💡
- transcription of voice and audio or video files 📄
- setting a system prompt to guide the style of the speech recognition ✏️
- direct input, without the typing animation ⏱️
- quick switching to the standard keyboard ⌨️
- haptic feedback 📳
- custom API server support 🛠️
- simple use and setup process 💪

For the app to be fully functional, every user must create an API key with OpenAI when setting it up for the first time. This incurs very low fees for each transcription (usually a few cents per month). There is a detailed explanation of this during setup.

Dictate is completely open source, the source code is available on GitHub.

Ratings and reviews

Don't be put off by the need to have an account with openai. This really works. Just 2 pieces of feedback for the developer: 1) there is a hutton for sending a query to chatgpt, but the icon for it could more clearly indicate its function - I only found out by trial and error. 2) Being able to easily switch to a standard keyboard is great, but switching back is less easy. Thanks for being open. This app is a game changer, and I've tried a few.

I am writing this review with this very app. In short, this is a simple keyboard that comes with the power of OpenAI Whisper. It's accuracy and capabilities unsurprisingy blow out Google Keyboard or any other OEM keyboard out of the water. The fact that it is open source is even more amazing. Thank you for this app, and looking forward to more and more great updates in the future

Since the recent update to Dictate 2.3.0, the File Uploading option is no longer functioning. That feature was incredibly useful for uploading recorded calls and managing tasks on the keyboard, but now it's missing. Could you please restore it?

What's new

Dictate 2.4.3

This is just a small update. In the settings, you can now select multiple input languages. If you then press and hold the switch-button while using Dictate, you can switch to one of these input languages faster. 💪
