Transform speech into perfectly polished text with AI. Completely free, endlessly flexible, and private by design. Now chat with your notes and find ideas by meaning with Smart AI Search.
Built on three core principles: completely free, endlessly customizable, and 100% private. Every feature available to everyone—no exceptions.
Configure every aspect of your workflow.
One keyboard for all your apps. Dictate into Messages, WhatsApp, Notion, or anywhere else you type. Swipe to switch between modes, with a recording timer and smooth processing animations.
Cloud AI is available if you want it — but it's completely optional and always under your control.
A built-in preset turns VivaDicta into a voice-powered AI assistant. Ask a question or give an instruction — fact-check, explain, reformat, change tone. Just say what you need.
Ask questions about one note or many. Surface insights, action items, and key points, or connect ideas across dozens of recordings. Powered by Apple Foundation Model on-device, or your favorite cloud AI.
Learn how Chat worksFind notes by meaning, not just keywords. Ask "what did I say about the pricing idea?" and VivaDicta finds it - even without those exact words. Fully on-device.
Learn how Smart Search worksSay "remind me to call mom on Sunday at 9 a.m." and VivaDicta extracts a task with the right title and due date, ready to import into Apple Reminders. Works on demand or automatically in the background after each note.
See Reminders ExtractionGet speaker-separated transcripts for meetings, interviews, and group chats, so it's clear who said what.
Learn about Speaker LabelsSpeak in one language, get polished text in another — instantly. Dictate in English and receive the output in Spanish, or speak Russian and get Japanese. Set a Translate preset as your mode's default and every recording is automatically translated.
Transcriptions, presets, custom dictionary, and API keys sync seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac via iCloud.
AI processing can use your clipboard or selected text as context. Copy a message and dictate your reply, or paste an email and voice-dictate your response.
Organize transcriptions with custom tags — name, color, and icon. Source tags auto-track where each note came from. Filter your history by any combination of tags.
Process text in any app directly from the VivaDicta keyboard. Place cursor or select text, tap a mode to translate, rewrite, summarize, or apply any AI preset.
Quick-insert recent transcriptions from the keyboard without opening the main app. Tap any of your last notes to paste it at the cursor.
Your natural speech transformed into polished, professional text — instantly.
