VoiceTypeAI Voice Typing for iPhone

The keyboard that listens.

Tap the mic, speak naturally, and your words appear live in Messages, Mail, Slack, Notes, WhatsApp and every other app, with the right spelling of your names. It is also a complete, free keyboard you will want to type on all day.

Voice typing

Voice typing that feels instant.

Fast, accurate speech recognition that keeps up with real conversation, long thoughts and all.

Live as you speak

A live transcript fills the keyboard while you talk, then lands exactly where you were typing.

Talk in every app

Start the mic once, then keep talking from the keyboard in any app, without switching back and forth.

Clean-up, one switch each

Correct the spelling of your names and terms, tidy obvious grammar, or change the tone. Never rewritten behind your back.

Never lose a word

Every dictation is saved every few seconds, so a dropped connection cannot take a long thought with it. Search and copy any time.

Privacy first

Your keyboard, not a listener.

A keyboard sees everything you type, so VoiceType is built to keep it to itself.

Privacy in plain words

Keystrokes are processed on your iPhoneTyping, autocorrect, swipe and emoji work offline. Only typing corrections you teach it (saved to your account) and, with AI features on, emoji-search words leave the phone.

Voice only after you allow itYour voice goes to VoiceType's speech service only after you allow AI features. Turn them off and voice and clean-up run on your iPhone.

Questions

iPhone questions, answered.

Does VoiceType see what I type?

Your keystrokes are processed on your iPhone and are not sent to us. The only typing that leaves the phone is the typing corrections you teach the keyboard (saved to your account) and, with AI features on, words you type into emoji search (sent to Google Gemini to find emoji). Voice goes only to VoiceType's speech service, and only after you allow AI features.

Do I need Full Access?

Not for typing: typing, autocorrect, swipe and emoji work without Full Access. Voice dictation needs it, because that is how iOS lets a keyboard work with its app.

Do I need an account?

No. You can use VoiceType without one. An account keeps your vocabulary and dictation history in step across your devices. To use your subscription on a Mac, sign in with a Google or email account.

Does it work with AirPods and Bluetooth headsets?

Yes.

How do I cancel?

On your iPhone: Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions › VoiceType. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next renewal.

Can I use it on my Mac too?

Yes. VoiceInput for Mac is included with VoiceType Monthly. Sign in to VoiceType on your iPhone with a Google or email account, subscribe, then download VoiceInput and sign in on the Mac with that same account.
