Jot Transcribe
Dictate in any app. On device.
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
A dictation keyboard for iPhone. Switch to Jot from any app — Messages, Mail, Slack — tap Dictate, and your voice goes into the text field you're in.
No account. No cloud. Nothing leaves your iPhone.
SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING, IN ANY APP
You're in Messages, Mail, Slack, your browser — anywhere you'd normally type. Tap the globe key on your iPhone keyboard to switch to Jot, tap Dictate, and speak. Your voice goes straight into the text field you're already in.
KEEP GOING WHEN LIFE INTERRUPTS
Your phone rings mid-sentence. Someone hands you something. You jump into Calendar to check a date. Come back, and Jot's microphone is still warm — up to five minutes, ready to pick up where you left off.
What you'd already said is saved as you said it. Even if everything drops, the part you'd already dictated is safe and waiting in the text field.
POLISH WHAT YOU SAID INTO WHAT YOU MEANT
You dictated something long and meandering. Open it in Jot and tap a built-in prompt:
Articulate — cleans up the prose
Action Items — pulls out the tasks
Email — formats it for sending
Or write your own prompt — with your voice. "Turn this into bullet points." "Translate to French." "Make it sound more formal." Save it once, run it on any transcript with a tap.
WHAT'S INSIDE
System-wide custom keyboard — works in any text field on iPhone
Recents strip — last 10 dictations one tap away to re-insert
Five-minute warm microphone across app switches and calls
On-device transcription using Apple's speech models, plus optional Parakeet 600M
On-device AI rewrite (optional 2.5 GB download)

Vocabulary list for names and technical terms
