@Kido1986 That's very kind Henry and you're right I should be paying more attention to ipads (I actually have two different sizes around).

I'd love to hear what/how you use Diction and any feedback. Please feel free to DM

just shipped Diction 8.0

built a real autocorrect engine for it
v7 had something. v8 actually works.

QWERTY also got a full layout pass — more compact, chips inline, numpad for number fields

@Kido1986 Hi Henry thanks for reporting! You can add the swish keyboard key. In Preferences please add new key under Custom keys and as an action choose "Next keyboard". You can then move the key to any position. Please let me know if this works.

[Ondrej @machalaon]

built a keyboard with no keys
just added keys

QWERTY in Diction now. autocorrect, accents, click sounds, backspace acceleration
full native feel. for when you can't talk out loud

also: words appear as you speak now. real-time. wild.

isn't paradox that the same company that allowed us to see things on the other side (virtual reality via games) will soon allow the things from the other side to see our world

[Ondrej @machalaon]

@Kido1986 Hey Henry, thanks for flagging this I'm looking into it and if there's a fix needed, I'll get it into the next release. Feel free to DM me if you want to dig into it more!

spent weeks with actual hardware and wires for this.

Diction One is rebuilt from scratch — dedicated models per language, instant mic, genuinely fast. one of the best STT setups on iOS.

🎙️ Diction 5.0 is live

added stats to diction

turns out seeing how much typing you've avoided
is kind of addictive

coming soon: improved recording resilience for Diction

audio saved on failure — orange retry strip in the keyboard
tap once, re-transcribes, text lands where your cursor is

If you’re building something and need screenshots for your landing page, docs or README - stop doing it by hand.

I build Heroshot to automate this. Free / Open Source screenshot automation
