Apple's new LLM-powered dictation in iOS 27 beta 1 is off by default. The feature, exclusive to iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air, and newer iPads and Macs with at least 12 GB RAM, offers improved accuracy and on-the-fly punctuation. Users must manually enable it in settings.
Voibe is a Mac-only offline voice dictation app that transcribes speech up to 3x faster than typing. It runs entirely on-device for privacy, works across any app with a cursor, and costs a one-time $49.99 (regularly $199). Optimized for Apple Silicon, it offers lag-free performance.
Apple introduced a systemwide dictation experience at WWDC 2026, built on an Apple Intelligence model based on Google's Gemini. The feature, integrated into the keyboard on iOS 27, corrects spelling, punctuation, and capitalization across apps.
