Codictate: AI Dictation
Private Offline AI dictation
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
On-device AI dictation. Press a button, speak, and your words appear wherever you type. No account, no cloud, no data collection. Parakeet and Whisper models included.
Press a button, speak, and your words are transcribed and pasted into whatever app you're using. No internet required. No account. No data leaves your phone. Codictate is AI dictation that runs entirely on your device.
The AI models run locally on your iPhone's Neural Engine and CPU, so your voice is never used to train AI models.
HOW IT WORKS
Codictate installs a system keyboard with a Dictate button. Tap it, speak, and on-device AI transcribes your speech in real time. The transcript is then inserted into your current text field.
Two AI speech engines are included:
- Parakeet TDT v3: Runs on the Neural Engine. Fast, lightweight, 95.7% accuracy on clean English audio.
- Whisper base (quantized): Runs on CPU as a fallback. Multilingual support with a 57 MB model.
You pick which AI model fits your needs. Switch anytime in settings.
PRIVACY
Everything runs on-device. Audio is never uploaded. There is no server, no analytics, no telemetry. Your recordings stay on your phone and are discarded after transcription. AI dictation without the cloud.

New in 1.0.3
- New Danish model: ekko. It's our most accurate Danish model yet, and it adds punctuation for you. Find it under Speech models.
- Faster first dictation with Parakeet. The model now loads while you speak, so you wait less. After an update, Codictate gets Parakeet ready when you open the app.
- Deleting Parakeet now frees up the full ~500 MB.
- Fixed the "Preparing Parakeet" banner sometimes staying on screen after the model was ready.
- Fixed a download that could get stuck at 100% on the Speech models screen.
