KEY FEATURES
• High-Accuracy Voice Dictation
Speak naturally and watch your words appear in real time. Choose between Apple's native speech engine or local Whisper models running right on your device for absolute privacy.
• Seamless iCloud Sync
Keep your notes, folders, and recordings in continuous sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with private, encrypted Apple iCloud sync. Capture a voice note on the go and edit it immediately on your Mac.
• Intelligent Text Polish
Transform raw transcripts into polished prose. Clean up filler words, fix grammar, format as structured meeting minutes, organize bullet points, draft emails, or generate concise summaries.
• Hands-Free Voice Commands (Beta)
Control structure without touching the screen. Use natural voice commands like "Hey Wispen, new paragraph", "Hey Wispen, bullet point", or "Hey Wispen, title" to format your document while dictating. Voice commands are currently in beta as we continue expanding supported syntax and responsiveness.
• Audio File Import
Import voice memos, lectures, or interview recordings and transcribe them with timestamps, speaker notes, and instant polish options.
• Projects, Folders & Search
Organize your thoughts into structured folders and tags. Search across your transcripts to find any idea instantly.
• Markdown & Document Export
Export your writing cleanly to Markdown, plain text, or share directly to your favorite apps.
• System-Wide Accessibility
Dictate anywhere you write—via the custom iOS keyboard extension on iPhone or the floating dictation bar and global hotkey on Mac.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your voice and notes never leave your personal Apple ecosystem. All AI models run locally on-device, and sync is handled securely through your personal iCloud account.

• The Wispen Keyboard now always records with the speech model you chose in Wispen, and every dictation is saved as a Wispen note as well as typed where you are.
• The keyboard's space bar now says Wispen, so you can tell it apart from other keyboards.
• Downloaded speech models load straight from your device: faster, and without an internet connection.
• A clearer message while a model loads, with a timer and a note when you can already start talking.
