airtxt is an AI dictation app for iPhone and iPad that lets users turn speech into clean, formatted text in any app. It is designed for people who think faster than they type, and it works with one-button access via the side button or the Action Button on supported devices. Users can dictate into mail apps, Slack, notes, and other apps, and the app automatically inserts the transcribed text. A dedicated memo mode also cleans up quick voice notes and places them on the clipboard for pasting anywhere. The app prioritizes privacy by offering an on-device transcription mode that works offline and never uploads audio to airtxt’s servers. When users prefer higher accuracy in noisy environments, they can switch to cloud transcription. Additionally, with version 1.1, users can bring their own API keys—Deepgram for speech recognition and Anthropic or OpenAI for AI cleanup—so requests go directly from the device to the provider of their choice and do not count against airtxt’s usage allowance. Beyond dictation, airtxt also acts as a meeting assistant. Users can invite an airtxt bot to calls on platforms like Zoom, Meet, and Teams; it records and transcribes with speaker labels and drafts a follow-up email. The app supports 13 languages and can switch languages mid-sentence. Users can also add custom vocabulary for names, acronyms, and industry terms, and this vocabulary is free on every plan, including the free tier. airtxt is available as a free-to-start mobile app with a subscription at $9.99 per month, positioning itself as an alternative to Wispr Flow. It is currently available for iPhone and iPad only, with Android support planned. The app targets busy professionals such as founders, doctors, lawyers, and sales teams, as well as anyone who wants to reduce typing.
