Dictation

Dictation can be used to let users enter text by speaking instead of typing. This can be hard to do in a keyboard extension where microphone access is unavailable, but KeyboardKit Pro makes it easy.

KeyboardKit Pro lets you add dictation to custom keyboard extensions, where a keyboard can open the main app to open an audio bridge, after which dictation can be performed within the keyboard.

Namespace

KeyboardKit has a Dictation namespace with dictation-related types, an observable context, auto-persisted settings, dictation services, etc. KeyboardKit Pro adds more features to this namespace.

👑 KeyboardKit Pro

KeyboardKit Pro unlocks dictation features that let you add dictation support with very little code.

The default dictation behavior is to send the dictated text to the main document, but you can use it in any way you want, for instance to trigger certain voice commands.

KeyboardKit Pro also unlocks dictation views that can be customized and styled to great extent, like the main progress views, volume visualizers, etc.
