Dictation is now faster — and you can watch it happen. · Speed: cloud dictation typically lands in about a second. Recordings upload ~5x smaller, the cloud races your on-device engine with a hard time budget, and a slow network can never stall a result. · Accuracy: cloud recognition now runs on a higher-accuracy engine, your words stay in the language you spoke (mixed Chinese-English included), and the polish step is smarter about fixing misheard words. · Pick your transcription service: Cloud recognition (optional, off by default) now has its own provider choice — with a one-tap connection check that shows the round-trip time. Use a fast transcription provider while your AI assistant stays wherever you like; picking the same provider for both shares a single key. · Live draft: while the final text is being prepared, the keyboard shows a clearly-labeled draft inside its own panel. Your message field only ever receives the final text, once. · Custom reply (new): save a reply style in Settings (e.g. "answer with dry humor"), then copy a message and tap the wand key — a reply in your style is drafted by your own AI and inserted at the cursor. · Polish keeps your voice: fillers, stutters and misheard words get cleaned up, but your tone and phrasing stay yours — chat messages still sound like you, and every fact, number and question is kept. · Reliability: a result can no longer appear in the wrong app long after a dictation, consumed text never lingers, and empty or silent recordings say "didn't catch that" instead of inserting junk.

Your keyboard just got a big upgrade. · Cloud recognition (optional): transcribe with your own AI key — automatic language detection and better punctuation. Off by default; recognition stays fully on-device unless you opt in, and any failure falls back to on-device instantly. · AirPods fixed: headphones no longer disconnect, your music keeps playing, and on supported AirPods MicType now listens through the headset mic while you dictate. · Typing feel: key press highlights and haptics, hold-to-repeat delete, long-press accents (é ü ñ), a #+= symbols layer, cursor control by sliding on the space bar, smarter auto-capitalization, and a much clearer Caps Lock. · Keep-mic-ready window is now yours: 6, 15, or 60 minutes. · Fixes: provider settings no longer reset when switching, wrong-language dictation auto-recovers, short phrases insert instantly. Local dictation is free forever. Thanks for using MicType!

Voice commands now act on what you copied. · Hold the mic and say "translate what I copied" or "summarize my clipboard," and MicType runs the command on your clipboard — even when some text is already selected. Great for acting on something you copied from another app. Local dictation is free forever. Thanks for using MicType!

Smarter voice commands, cleaner dictation. · Long text, handled right — copy a long passage first, then hold the mic and say "translate this" or "reply to this." MicType works on the whole thing (iOS limits how much a keyboard can read from a selection, so copying gets the full text). · Lighter cleanup — dictation now keeps your wording and length instead of over-shortening it. · Smoother — polished text appears once now, with no more text changing right after it lands. · Short Chinese sentences no longer get a forced trailing period. · Fixes — long AI replies no longer come back empty, and a brief network hiccup no longer shows a false "API not verified." Local dictation is free forever. Thanks for using MicType!

Switch dictation language right on the keyboard — no need to open the app. · NEW: a language chip in the voice panel (EN / 中 / 日本語 / 한국어 / Español / Français / Deutsch, or follow System) — tap to switch dictation language without leaving what you're typing. · Better recognition: clearer English and mixed Chinese-English, with smarter sentence punctuation. Still 100% on-device — your audio never leaves your phone. · Smoother in the background: the mic no longer drops out when other apps play sound, and MicType no longer interrupts your music or podcasts. · In-app and keyboard language settings now stay in sync — your last choice wins. · Reliability and bug fixes. Local dictation is free forever. Thanks for using MicType!
