Try KeyVox Speak: Copy or share text, and have it read back with up to 8 on-device AI voices. Private and right on your iPhone. No subscription. Copy Text. Hear it Speak.
Talk. KeyVox types.
KeyVox is a keyboard that turns your voice into polished, ready-to-send text, right inside any app on your iPhone. No switching apps. No copying and pasting. Just press the mic and start talking. Free Your Voice. Because dictation should always be free.
Everything runs on your device. Works in any app. No accounts. No subscriptions. No servers. No tracking. Your words stay yours.
SMARTER THAN A TRANSCRIPT
Most voice tools give you a messy wall of text. KeyVox actually cleans up what you said:
• Say "two plus two equals four" → you get "2 + 2 = 4"
• Say "my email is dom at keyvox dot app" → you get dom@keyvox.app
• Say "be home by eight PM" → you get 8:00 PM
• Rattle off a list → you get a clean numbered list
• Pause naturally → you get a new paragraph
• Laugh mid-sentence → we clean that up too
You talk like a human. KeyVox formats it like you typed it.
The Paragraphs, List, and Caps Lock keys support long press to apply/undo formatting when available. This allows you to apply/revert lists, paragraphs, and all caps with any untouched dictation.
WORKS EVERYWHERE
KeyVox lives as a keyboard, so it works in any app: Messages, Notes, Mail, wherever you write. Just switch to KeyVox, tap the mic, and go.
COMPLETELY PRIVATE
This isn't "we promise we won't look at your data" private. This is "your voice never leaves your phone" private.
KeyVox runs fully on-device. No internet required. No servers. No data collection. Works in airplane mode. Works anywhere.
SIMPLE. NO NONSENSE.
No subscriptions. No ads. No accounts.
KeyVox is free and open source.
We think dictation should just work... Not come with strings attached.
TWO VOICE ENGINES
KeyVox includes two built-in speech engines: Whisper and Parakeet. Try both and use whichever works best for you.
KEYVOX VIBES: REVERSIBLE WRITING STYLES
Your dictation has Vibes.
KeyVox Vibes lets you rewrite the latest untouched dictation in different writing styles, right after you speak. Want something more casual? More polished? More chill? Change the vibe instantly without re-recording anything.
And if you change your mind, undo it anytime.
This is not a chatbot. This is not copy-and-paste AI rewriting. Vibes is built directly into the KeyVox dictation flow, so it feels fast, natural, and actually useful while you're dictating.
Everything runs on-device. No servers.
Currently includes built-in Vibes like:
• Casual
• Polished
• Chill
Talk once. Vibe more.
KEYVOX SPEAK: READ LESS. LISTEN MORE.
KeyVox Speak turns anything you can copy or share into natural, spoken audio using on-device AI voices. Copy text, tap Speak, and your iPhone reads it out loud — from articles, messages, PDFs, websites, or even images with text. You can start Speak from the KeyVox keyboard, Home tab, Share Sheet, or Shortcuts, so it fits right into how you already use your phone.
Everything runs locally after setup. No cloud processing, no sending text anywhere. Install the Speak engine and choose from multiple voices, then listen with full playback controls and replay. You get 2 free Speaks per day, and can unlock unlimited use with a one-time purchase. Currently available on iOS, with English support.

This is the app that everybody needs. It does all the work. It's intuitive. It’s impressive. There's nothing else like it out there. The accuracy is unbelievable. I can't believe I found this app, but I'm so happy I did. I’m majorly grateful for the incredible gift of this most helpful of apps. Just download it.

Wanted to love it
Jblack1175
I was super excited about finding this, but our relationship didn't work out. 1. I had a problem with its accuracy.2. I had a real problem with the fact that once I added stuff to the dictionary, it would just keep adding words from my dictionary - turning my sentences into word salad.3. I think the H was being heard as a Y. So I had a dictionary entry that started with H-E. And every time I would say the word "years", it became the word in my dictionary. I have no idea why.
Developer Response
Thanks for giving KeyVox a try, and I’m sorry it didn’t work out. I’m especially disappointed to hear about the dictionary behavior you described, because that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have.I’d really appreciate the chance to investigate this with you. If you could reach out through the support form on our website at keyvox.app, include the dictionary entry (or entries) you added and a few example phrases that triggered the issue. That will help me reproduce it and get it fixed.I’m the developer, and I’d genuinely like to make this right. Thanks again for taking the time to leave detailed feedback.-Dom
Great App

Everything about this app is great!
Developer Response
Thank you for saying that! I’m thrilled to know that you’re enjoying everything.
KeyVox now lets you choose your language. Open the KeyVox Settings tab and select your dictation language for Whisper. The default option is Auto Detect. Parakeet is currently Auto Detect only. This update also stops background noise from turning into made-up text and includes other bug fixes. See our blog post for more info at keyvox.app/blog. Free Your Voice from Big Dictation!
