Inkrest: Private Dictation

On-Device Voice Refinement

$4.99

Private, on-device dictation for iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch. Speak, refine into your style, paste anywhere — no account, no cloud, no tracking. Speak however it comes out. Inkrest turns your voice into clean, finished text — right on your iPhone and iPad, with nothing sent to a server. Most dictation just transcribes. Inkrest goes further: it captures what you say, then quietly refines the "ums," the false starts, and the run-ons into clear, polished prose in the style you choose. Speak a half-formed thought; get back a finished paragraph. And it all happens on your device. Speech-to-text and the AI rewriting both run locally on Apple silicon. No accounts. No servers. No telemetry. After a one-time model download, Inkrest works with no internet connection at all — on a plane, on a trail, anywhere. Your words never leave your device. CAPTURE ANYWHERE - A system keyboard that turns speech into refined text in any app - A home-screen widget and the Action Button for instant capture - A Share Sheet to clean up text you already have - On Apple Watch: catch a thought from your wrist - A Live Activity that keeps your session in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen BUILT FOR IPAD Inkrest is a real iPad app, not a stretched-up phone screen — a wider dictation layout and a two-column settings view that make the most of the display. Dictate a note, refine it, and move on without leaving the page. PICK YOUR STYLE The same spoken note, refined for where it's going — Email, Message, Document, Bullets, or Verbatim. Let Inkrest choose, or set it yourself. SPELLED THE WAY YOU MEAN IT Curated dictionaries plus your own custom terms, so names, jargon, and product names come out right — without spelling them out loud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics. No crash reporters. No ad SDKs. The only thing Inkrest ever sends over the network is a one-time model download. After that: silence. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. Inkrest doesn't track you, doesn't show ads, and never asks you to sign in. Your words, at rest.

Fixes a case where a short spoken instruction came back as a written-out answer instead of the note you dictated.
