About
Phonic is a minimal dictation app for iPhone. Add the Phonic keyboard once. Then in any text field — Messages, Notes, Mail, anywhere — tap the keyboard's mic button and speak. Phonic transcribes your voice and inserts the text right where your cursor is. Three transcription options: • On-device — Whisper running entirely on your iPhone via Core ML. Nothing leaves your device. No API key. No internet. • Groq (default for cloud) — sub-second transcription quality with your own free Groq API key. • OpenAI — transcription through OpenAI's Whisper API with your own key. That's it. No accounts, no cloud-stored transcripts, no advertising, no analytics. You bring your own API key when using the cloud options; your voice and text never touch any Phonic-controlled servers. Phonic shows a level meter so you can see your voice register, a clear timer for armed sessions, and a basic editing keyboard so you can fix small mistakes without switching back to the system keyboard.
