OSGKeyboard

Polished text in any app.
A custom keyboard that transcribes your voice on-device, polishes with AI, and optionally translates — in WeChat, Notes, Mail, ChatGPT, and everywhere you type. Pick a local engine (built-in polish) or cloud engine (your API). Up to 3.5 minutes per take, with an 8-minute Flow session so you never bounce back to the host app.

Tomorrow at 3 PM, sync with the design team on the new onboarding flow. Send the draft before lunch.
Built for real typing workflows
Native SwiftUI, on-device transcription, configurable polish intensity, optional translation, and a personal dictionary — all in a tap-to-toggle Flow session.
On-device ASR
Speech stays on your iPhone. iOS 26 SpeechAnalyzer + DictationTranscriber handle transcription — audio never leaves the device.
AI polish · 3 levels
Light, Medium, or Heavy polish adds punctuation, structure, and clarity. Ultra-short utterances skip the LLM and insert directly. Only the transcript is sent — never audio.
Local & cloud engines
Local: on-device ASR + built-in DeepSeek polish — no API key needed. Cloud: on-device ASR + your OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI, Qwen, Zhipu, Moonshot, or self-hosted).
Post-polish translation
After polish, optionally translate into English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, and more. Toggle from the keyboard chip or Settings — both engines supported.
Personal dictionary
Add names, product terms, and jargon in the Dictionary tab. The LLM preserves your entries; aliases help correct common ASR misrecognitions.
Flow session
A long-lived host-app session (8 minutes) keeps the recorder warm. Record many takes without bouncing back to the app — tap Start on the keyboard if the session expires.
Cursor drag navigation
Drag the pads beside the mic to move the caret precisely — horizontal or vertical. Toggle on/off in Settings → Preferences. Left- and right-handed layouts supported.
How it works
From first launch to polished text in any app — about five minutes.
Open the app
Build from source and launch. The 5-step onboarding walks you through permissions, keyboard setup, and engine choice. Flow session starts automatically when ready.
Allow mic & speech
Grant microphone and on-device speech recognition when prompted. You can also finish most steps from the keyboard's own setup overlay.
Enable the keyboard
In iOS Settings, add OSGKeyboard and allow Full Access — required for the mic, API key, and Flow session bridge.
Pick recognition mode
Local: on-device ASR + built-in polish, no API key. Cloud: on-device ASR + your OpenAI-compatible key (OpenAI, Qwen, Zhipu, Moonshot, or custom).
Tune & talk
Set polish intensity, translation target, and personal dictionary in Settings. Switch to OSGKeyboard, tap the mic, speak (up to 3.5 min), tap again — text lands at your cursor.
