everyone's adding AI features to their keyboard app
I removed the keyboard entirely
just a mic button. tap, speak, text appears wherever your cursor is. any app.
turns out most people don't want a smarter keyboard. they want to stop typing.
built an iOS keyboard extension and the hardest part wasn't the speech recognition
it's the 48MB memory limit. your keyboard gets killed silently if you go over. no crash log, no warning, just gone.
apple really doesn't want you replacing their keyboard
🚨‼️ Hey gang - meet Diction‼️🚨 It's an iPhone voice been building that does one thing: speech to text.
!! On-device. Self-hosted. Encrypted. Open source !!
Still in alpha and I've got a lot to share. Follow along - exciting things coming.
