Phonic Dictation

Voice-to-text everywhere

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Phonic is a minimal dictation app for iPhone. Add the Phonic keyboard once. Then in any text field — Messages, Notes, Mail, anywhere — tap the keyboard's mic button and speak. Phonic transcribes your voice and inserts the text right where your cursor is. Three transcription options: • On-device — Whisper running entirely on your iPhone via Core ML. Nothing leaves your device. No API key. No internet. • Groq (default for cloud) — sub-second transcription quality with your own free Groq API key. • OpenAI — transcription through OpenAI's Whisper API with your own key. That's it. No accounts, no cloud-stored transcripts, no advertising, no analytics. You bring your own API key when using the cloud options; your voice and text never touch any Phonic-controlled servers. Phonic shows a level meter so you can see your voice register, a clear timer for armed sessions, and a basic editing keyboard so you can fix small mistakes without switching back to the system keyboard.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when re-arming the mic from the keyboard while your audio was switching routes (e.g. connecting AirPods or car Bluetooth) • Hindi dictation now comes out in Roman script (Hinglish) automatically — speak English or Hindi in the same mode, nothing to switch. A Settings toggle restores the previous behaviour • More reliable microphone recovery after calls and Siri announcements • Big reduction in background battery and storage activity while the mic is armed
