Dictate Keyboard
A powerful Whisper AI keyboard for reliable speech transcription
---
> **Note:** This is a complete rebuild of Dictate as a full, standalone keyboard on top of
> [**FlorisBoard**](https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard), replacing the original Java
> app that powered Dictate v1–v3. The previous Java codebase is preserved on the
> [`legacy-java`](https://github.com/DevEmperor/Dictate/tree/legacy-java) branch.

## 📲 Installation
**The app is available on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.devemperor.dictate)**
(for a small fee that supports continued development), giving you easy installation and free
lifetime updates. Just tap the badge above or [this link](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.devemperor.dictate).
> **Existing users:** the new keyboard keeps the same app identity and signing key, so your
> settings carry over on update — no reinstall, no lost configuration.
## ✨ What is Dictate?
**Dictate** is an easy-to-use keyboard for transcribing and dictating. It uses
[OpenAI Whisper](https://openai.com/index/whisper/) in the background, which delivers
extremely accurate results for
[many different languages](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text/supported-languages),
complete with punctuation — plus custom AI rewording powered by GPT models.
Instead of pecking at keys, just tap the microphone, speak, and watch your words appear as
clean, formatted text in any app. Need it more formal, translated, summarised, or
fixed-up? Hand the text to a rewording prompt and let the model do the work.
## 🎤 Features
- **Voice dictation with Whisper AI** — highly accurate speech-to-text in dozens of languages, with automatic punctuation.
- **AI rewording & rewriting** — turn a selection into something more formal, casual, translated, summarised, or anything you define with custom prompts.
- **Custom prompts & snippets** — build your own reword actions; reusable text snippets are inserted instantly without an API call.
- **Bring your own key** — works with your own OpenAI API key (and compatible endpoints), so you stay in control of usage and cost.
- **A real, full keyboard** *(courtesy of the FlorisBoard base):*
- Huge variety of keyboard layouts and easy language/subtype switching
- Full theme customization with day/night presets and automatic switching
- Emoji keyboard, clipboard manager & cursor tools
- One-handed / compact mode, gesture actions, customizable key sound & vibration
- **Privacy-respecting by design** — no tracking; your audio goes only to the AI provider you configure.
## 🧱 Built on FlorisBoard
Dictate Keyboard is a fork of [**FlorisBoard**](https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard),
an open-source, privacy-respecting keyboard created by
[Patrick Goldinger](https://github.com/patrickgold) and
[The FlorisBoard Contributors](https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/graphs/contributors).
Their work provides the entire keyboard foundation — layouts, theming, gesture handling,
clipboard tools and the IME plumbing — on top of which Dictate adds its voice-dictation and
AI-rewording layer.
