dictate swaps iPhone keyboard for AI dictation

This is less a dictation app than a new input layer for iPhone. If the keyboard feels invisible and fast, it can win on convenience; if not, it lands in a crowded voice-to-text pile. The keyboard-extension model is the real UX advantage because it avoids the copy-paste hop that makes standalone dictation tools feel clunky. Translation and AI formatting move it beyond note capture into everyday writing. The category is crowded, with superwhisper, Wispr Flow, Typeless, and Lexi all pushing some version of speak instead of type. Cloud transcription plus a no-recordings-stored privacy pitch is the right message for sensitive text, but trust will be the first thing users test. The free weekly cap is a smart acquisition hook, and the accessibility angle gives the product a durable use case beyond productivity novelty.
