Beyond Transcription

AI Assistant

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.

Auto-Translation

Speak 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.

iCloud Sync

Transcriptions, presets, custom dictionary, and API keys sync seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud.

Clipboard & Text Context

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.

AI Presets & Variations

Process any transcription with multiple AI presets — Summary, Email, Coding, and more. Each result is saved as a variation so you can compare outputs side by side.

Tags & Organization

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.

Keyboard AI Processing

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.

Keyboard Recent Notes

Quick-insert recent transcriptions from the keyboard without opening the main app. Tap any of your last notes to paste it at the cursor.

See the Difference

Your natural speech transformed into polished, professional text — instantly.

Voice Input
