Sayso: Voice to Text

Sayso turns speech into useful text on your iPhone. Record a thought, keep your original words, or choose a writing mode for a message, email, or notes. • See live transcription with Apple Speech. • Keep the original or refine it with Clean, Message, Email, Notes, and Custom modes. • Edit prompts or create your own named writing modes. • Edit, copy, and share your results. • Search optional local history and add vocabulary spellings. • Optionally download Parakeet for on-device transcription after you finish recording. • Open Sayso and start dictation through its Shortcuts action. Keep Sayso open while speaking. Finish dictation before switching to another app. No Sayso account, server, or API key is required. Sayso does not send your audio or text to a remote AI service. Microphone recordings are not saved. Optional history stays in the app and may be included in your device backup. Requires iOS 27 or later. Rewriting requires Apple Intelligence availability on a compatible device and supported language. Original transcription does not require Apple Intelligence. Speech models and language assets may require an initial internet download. Optional Parakeet downloads are hosted on Hugging Face and require about 500 MB; transcription then runs on-device. Review rewritten text for accuracy; the original remains available.
