- For
- iPhone and iPad users who dictate across apps
- Worth noticing
- The site says the speech model downloads once at about 480 MB, then works offline; its speed figure is a median from 64 dictations on an iPhone 17 Pro.
Field notes
The page details distinct layouts for iPhone, full-size iPad, and floating iPad keyboards, including umlaut keys and an undo action after dictation. It says iOS does not let keyboards access the microphone directly, so the keyboard uses the companion app on the same device; the site claims that keyboard has no internet access. A one-time model download is listed at about 480 MB, after which the product is described as usable offline.
