Say it your way.
Send it in any language.
Voiceboard is a keyboard you talk to. Speak in Cantonese, English or nine other languages, then send it as you said it, translated, or rewritten to sound just right. It works in every app.
「我今日放工之後會去旺角食飯，你得唔得閒一齊去呀？」
Tap to talk, or hold and release
Talk, check, send.
iOS doesn't let keyboards use the microphone, so the Voiceboard app does the listening and the keyboard does the rest.
Start a voice session
Open Voiceboard once. It keeps a voice session on in the background, so the keyboard can hear you in any app.
Switch keyboards and talk
Tap 🌐 to switch to Voiceboard, then tap the mic, or hold it while you speak.
Check the draft, then insert
Your words appear in the text field as a draft. Change the style, say what to fix, or type over it, then send.
Built for the way people really talk.
Mixed languages, slang, half-finished sentences: Voiceboard turns them into the message you meant to write.
Cantonese that actually works
Speak colloquial Cantonese, particles, slang and English words included, and get it back as written Cantonese, standard written Chinese, or a natural translation.
Translate as you speak
Talk in one language and send in another. Translation runs on your iPhone, with no internet needed once a language is downloaded.
Say what to change
“Make it Saturday.” “Shorter.” “More polite.” Change the draft by voice or with one tap, and undo any step.
Private by default
Without Pro, speech recognition, translation and rewriting all run on your iPhone. Voiceboard never records what you type.
A full keyboard, too
Swipe for letters and emoji, and edit the draft with the keys before you send it.
Styles for every chat
Rewrite the same message for your boss, your group chat or your grandma.
Works in every app
WhatsApp, Messages, email, notes: anywhere you can type, you can talk.
Languages: English, Cantonese (廣東話), Mandarin in Traditional or Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Styles and edits without Pro need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
Free on your iPhone. Sharper with Pro.
Voiceboard is free, with everything running on your device. Pro adds cloud recognition and rewriting for when accuracy matters most.
Free
On your iPhone, no account
- Dictation in 11 languages

- Text appears live as you speak

Speech uses a Pro minute for each minute you talk; rewriting and translation use a few seconds per message. Minutes refill every month. Run out early? Subscribers can top up, and bought minutes never expire:
Prices in US dollars; the App Store shows your local price. When your minutes run out, Voiceboard switches to the free on-device services until they refill. Cancel any time in Settings.
Good to know
Why does the keyboard need Full Access?
Full Access lets the keyboard talk to the Voiceboard app, which does the listening. iOS warns that a keyboard with Full Access could send what you type; Voiceboard doesn't record your typing, and your messages leave your iPhone only when you use Pro.
Why is the microphone indicator on?
iOS doesn't let keyboards use the microphone, so the Voiceboard app keeps a voice session running in the background. iOS shows the indicator while it's on. Voiceboard only uses what it hears after you tap the mic, and the session ends by itself after a while without use.
Does it work offline?
Yes, without Pro. Once the speech model and translation languages are downloaded, dictation and translation work with no connection. Pro needs the internet.
What happens to my voice with Pro?
Your recording is streamed to our speech provider to be transcribed, and isn't stored by Voiceboard. See the privacy policy for the details.
What if I run out of Pro minutes?
Voiceboard switches to the free on-device services and tells you. Your minutes refill on your renewal date, or you can buy more or change plan in the app.
Stop typing. Start talking.
Voiceboard is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone.
