Hey Product Hunt! I'm Gabriel, the maker of dictate.
I built dictate. because I was frustrated with how limited voice typing is on iOS. Apple's built-in dictation only works in some places, the accuracy isn't great, and there's no way to translate or format on the fly.
So I built a keyboard replacement. dictate. is a custom iOS keyboard — once you enable it, it works in every app on your phone. Messages, WhatsApp, Mail, Notes, anywhere you type. Just tap the mic and speak.
Under the hood, it uses advanced AI models for transcription, so the accuracy is significantly better than Apple's built-in option. You can also speak in one language and have it typed in another (real-time translation), and the AI handles punctuation and formatting automatically.
It's free to download with 70 transcriptions/week. Pro unlocks unlimited transcriptions and the advanced features.
I'm also working on a macOS version that works system-wide — same concept, speak anywhere on your Mac.
