How to Dictate on iPhone With Voiskey
Voiskey is an AI-powered voice input tool for iPhone — faster, more accurate, with Dictation and Translate beyond Apple’s mic.
Why Voiskey for iPhone Voice to Text
Voiskey is an AI-powered voice input tool. On iPhone it is faster and more accurate than thumb-typing or basic Apple Dictation — about 220 wpm speaking versus about 45 typing (about 5× faster).
Beyond Dictation, Voiskey also includes Translate: speak in the language you think in, land sendable text in another. System voice to text mostly dumps raw words; Voiskey aims for messages and Mail you can send. On Mac or Windows you also get Ask AI (Fn+Space / Alt+Space) for voice Q&A and rewrites.
Switch to the Voiskey keyboard, then short-press the toolbar for Dictation — or long-press space and drag left for Dictation, right for Translate.
Dictation and Translate Gestures
Install Voiskey, enable the keyboard under Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards, and switch to Voiskey in any text field.
Dictation — short-press the dictation button on the keyboard toolbar, or long-press the space bar and drag left. Speak; land cleaner text at the cursor.
Translate — long-press the space bar and drag right. Say it in the language you think in; get sendable text in the language you need, with natural phrasing — not a stiff word swap.
