Meet Notes -- your pocket note-taker.
Set your Action Button to "Take Note", press it (even with your phone locked), and just talk. ahsk turns up to an hour of rambling into a clean, organized note — with a summary, action items, and even a mind map.
Dictate from anywhere.
Press the Action Button to dictate without opening the app — your words land right in the text field, or on your clipboard when no keyboard is up. Works from the Lock Screen, Siri, and Back Tap too.
New Audio Settings.
Pick your microphone, keep the mic warm for instant starts, or set an auto-off timer.
A fresh coat of paint.
Redesigned profile page, a cleaner brighter look, a smarter Dynamic Island, and a little guidance when you're setting things up for the first time.
Plus faster, more reliable first dictations and plenty of small fixes.
2.6 Sep 1
Your first 10,000 dictated words are now free, credits are gone, and Pro is simply unlimited dictation. The account tab shows your plan and how much of your free allowance you've used at a glance. Sharing your stats now produces a branded card with the ahsk mark. Plus small fixes and polish throughout.
2.5 Aug 29
- New home: your stats on a glowing card you can share as a picture
- Keyboard: dictate right in the toolbar — the icon turns red while listening, tap it to finish
- Emoji key beside the space bar, and a mode picker next to translate
- Custom modes now truly apply your instructions (email layout, sign-offs, anything you write)
- New start/finish sounds, a refreshed welcome and sign-in

Now on iPad!
• ahsk is now a universal app, with layouts, keyboard, and controls designed for the bigger screen.
Better dictation on weak internet
• Slow connections get the time they need — no more failed dictations mid-upload.
• Brief network drops (like switching between Wi-Fi and cellular) reconnect automatically.
• If transcription still fails, your recording is saved — tap "Try again" to re-send it instead of speaking again.
Smarter keyboard
• The keyboard now tells you when another app is using the microphone, so you know exactly why dictation can't start.
Plus small fixes and polish throughout.
If you want it shorter (some prefer 3–4 lines):
• ahsk now runs beautifully on iPad — layouts and keyboard built for the big screen.
• Dictation works on weak internet: slow uploads finish, drops reconnect, and failed recordings can be re-sent with one tap — you never have to repeat yourself.
• The keyboard now tells you when another app is holding the microphone.
• Small fixes and polish.

Rebuilt keyboard
• The keys are rebuilt from the ground up and now feel like the system
keyboard: fast two-thumb typing no longer drops presses, key popups and
hold-for-accent callouts match Apple's, the spacebar moves the cursor,
auto-shift works, and sizing is correct on every device.
• Key click sound now plays.
Snippets
• Snippet expansion works while you type. Triggers were not firing at all
on device — typing ";sig" plus a space now expands it.
• The suggestion bar appears as soon as you start a trigger, and picking a
suggestion inserts it.
• The longest matching trigger wins, so ";signature" no longer expands as
";sig" with the rest left behind.
• Snippets you add in the app now reach a keyboard that is already open.
• Redesigned suggestions: rounded pills with the trigger in monospace, and
the row fades at the edge so it reads as scrollable.
• Fixed the suggestion row being clipped by the top of the keyboard.
• Fixed a white haze over the suggestion pills on iOS 26 that washed out
the labels.
Modes
• Custom modes now actually change your dictated text. The instruction was
going to the wrong place and had no effect on the result.
• Formal and Informal do real work now — Formal previously did nothing and
Informal only swapped symbols.

Added support for Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Bengali. You can now speak in these languages and get
accurate transcriptions powered by Sarvam AI.
Snippets are here. Create text shortcuts in the app and they expand instantly when you type them in
the keyboard. Suggestions show up as you type the shortcut.
Voice transcriptions are now smarter. Grammar gets fixed automatically, filler words like "um" and
"uh" are cleaned up, and lists are detected even if you don't say "number one, number two." Your
words are never censored.
Bluetooth and wired headphones now work properly. The mic automatically switches to whatever audio
device you're using.
The keyboard got a visual refresh with glassmorphism styling, haptic feedback, key sounds, and a
new toolbar layout with Speak and Ask buttons.
Completely redesigned the onboarding experience with a new welcome screen, animated videos that
adapt to dark and light mode, and a simpler setup process.
Translation is more accurate now. Formatting happens first on the English text, then translation
runs as the last step so nothing gets corrupted.
