🧠 And today, local post-processing still needs a model running via Ollama on the side.
We're building in-app model download — grab a local model and run it right inside Dictus. No Ollama, no extra setup.

👀 What's next
Bind multiple shortcuts to different actions: one to translate on the fly into the language you want, another to fire a specific post-processing prompt.
Pick your mode with a single keystroke.
🎉 Dictus Desktop v0.1.3 is out — and it auto-updates right from inside the app.
The headline: AI post-processing is no longer hidden.
It used to sit behind an experimental flag, so most people never knew Dictus could even do it. Now it's front and center. 🧵
Dictus is not just speech-to-text.
It’s also an open-source mobile keyboard.
Yes, iOS requires “Full Access”.
The difference: you can inspect the code.
We’re improving it every day to build a modern keyboard without giving up privacy.
🔥Ton clavier smartphone voit tout ce que tu tapes. Mots de passe, messages privés, recherches, numéros de carte bleue.
Voici ce que font les grands OS avec ces données.
Android, Gboard envoie à Google la longueur de chaque mot, l'heure exacte de saisie, l'application dans
We know Turbo is still slow. Investigating whether it's a WhisperKit limitation or something we can fix.
Standard remains the recommended pick.
Open-source, fully offline iOS keyboard for voice dictation. github.com/getdictus/dict…
Dictus v1.7.1 just hit TestFlight 🎙️
→ Cold start dictation finally works on the first tap (no more "tap twice" workaround) → Turbo now has a proper loading overlay so you know what's happening → Speed scores recalibrated to be honest about which model is slower
Dictus 1.7 ships German 🇩🇪
Same offline keyboard, same brain — now speaks Deutsch.
Type "uber" → über. "weiss" → weiß. "tuer" → Tür.
Long-press s for ß. Cycle FR/EN/ES/DE from the keyboard.
100% on-device. No data leaves your phone.
Out on TestFlight now.
Dictus 1.6.1 is live on TestFlight 🎤
Keyboard memory leak fixed — no more bloat across app switches
Background recording now releases after 10 min idle (kills the battery drain)
Cold-start layout glitch gone
Bug-fix patch, no new features. Solid build. Test it 👇

We read everything. The roadmap is shaped by what you actually need.
For now, Dictus Desktop is essentially Handy with a Dictus visual identity.
But we have a lot of features in the pipeline for the coming weeks and months — shared across iOS, Android, and Desktop. One philosophy: your voice never leaves your device.
Full transparency: Dictus Desktop is a fork of Handy (github.com/cjpais/Handy), an MIT-licensed Tauri app we admired.
Huge thanks to cjpais and every Handy contributor — we're standing on their shoulders, and we sync upstream regularly.
Dictus Desktop is live.
100% offline voice dictation on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Press a shortcut, speak — text lands in any app. Whisper or Parakeet V3, running entirely on your machine.
