DEBUG cleanup (rolled into P0-① and P0-② already, formalised here):
- All 3 surviving `print(` calls live inside `#if DEBUG` blocks:
* OSGKeyboardApp.swift init (the 4 \ud83d\udd25 traces)
* ASRService on-device fallback warning
* KeyboardViewController.loadPersistedLocale masked-config dump
The 2 in AppGroup.swift + LLMClient.swift were already DEBUG-wrapped.
Docs:
- README.md: replace <OWNER> placeholder with hkgood (CI badge + clone URL);
reword the 'iOS 26 SpeechAnalyzer' copy as 'planned for the next release';
add a 'Note' line pointing at hkgood/OSGKeyboard.
- README.zh.md: same edits in Chinese — 'iOS 26+ 的 SpeechAnalyzer 计划下版接入'.
CHANGELOG (already fixed in P0-② commit): the old 'group.com.osgkeyboard.ios'
typo on the old line 18 is gone — it was rewritten into the new
'Known limitations' block, which only references 'group.com.osgkeyboard.shared'
in spirit.

# OSGKeyboard

> Hold a key, speak, release — AI-polished text appears at your cursor in any app.
|
|
> An open-source, custom-keyboard-based voice input tool for iOS 18+, inspired by [Typeless](https://typeless.com) and [OpenLess](https://github.com/Open-Less/openless).

## What is it?
|
|
|
|
OSGKeyboard is a free, open alternative to commercial voice-input tools. It runs as a **Custom Keyboard Extension** on iOS, so you can use it in **any app** — Messages, Notes, Mail, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, you name it.
|
|
|
|
1. Press and hold the mic key
|
|
2. Speak naturally
|
|
3. Release — the AI polishes your words into clean text and inserts it at the cursor
|
|
|
|
The audio stays on-device (transcribed by Apple's on-device `SFSpeechRecognizer` on iOS 18/19; iOS 26+ `SpeechAnalyzer` planned for the next release). Only the **polished transcript** is sent to your chosen cloud LLM. **No audio ever leaves your phone.**
|
|

|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- 🎙 **Push-to-talk** with a Typeless-style circular mic button
|
|
- 🧠 **On-device ASR** (iOS 18/19 `SFSpeechRecognizer`; iOS 26+ `SpeechAnalyzer` + `DictationTranscriber` planned)
|
|
- ✍️ **AI polishing** — adds structure, punctuation, fixes grammar, optionally produces lists
|
|
- 🔌 **Bring-your-own API** — works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen DashScope, your own self-hosted server, …)
|
|
- 🔒 **Privacy first** — audio never leaves your device; transcripts only sent to the LLM you choose
|
|
- 🎨 **Native SwiftUI** — dark theme, frosted glass, ~2000 lines of Swift
|
|
- 🪶 **Zero dependencies** — no SwiftPM packages, no CocoaPods, no Carthage
|
|

## Quick start
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- macOS with **Xcode 16+** (Xcode 26 recommended)
|
|
- iPhone running **iOS 18.0+**
|
|
- [XcodeGen](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen): `brew install xcodegen`
|
|
- An OpenAI-compatible API key (e.g. from [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys), [DeepSeek](https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys), or [Qwen DashScope](https://dashscope.console.aliyun.com/apiKey))
|
|
|
|
### Build & run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/hkgood/OSGKeyboard.git
|
|
cd OSGKeyboard
|
|
xcodegen generate # produces OSGKeyboard.xcodeproj
|
|
open OSGKeyboard.xcodeproj # or build via CLI:
|
|
xcodebuild -project OSGKeyboard.xcodeproj -scheme OSGKeyboard \
|
|
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Enable the keyboard in iOS
|
|
|
|
1. Run the app on your device or simulator.
|
|
2. Follow the 3-step onboarding: **enable the keyboard** in iOS Settings, then **allow Full Access** (required for the mic and LLM calls), then **paste your API key**.
|
|
3. In any text field, tap 🌐 to switch to **OSGKeyboard**.
|
|
4. Press and hold the mic, speak, release. ✨
|
|
|
|
> **"Allow Full Access" is required.** Without it, iOS blocks the keyboard from using the microphone and from making network requests. We never log, store, or transmit your keystrokes — see [`PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy`](./OSGKeyboard/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy).

|
|
|
|
## Adding a new LLM provider
|
|
|
|
Open `OSGKeyboardShared/Models/LLMProvider.swift` and append a new `LLMProvider` to the `presets` array. The default `OpenAICompatibleClient` handles any endpoint that speaks the `POST /chat/completions` protocol.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
LLMProvider(
|
|
id: "groq",
|
|
name: "Groq",
|
|
defaultBaseURL: "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",
|
|
defaultModel: "llama-3.1-70b-versatile",
|
|
apiKeyURL: URL(string: "https://console.groq.com/keys")
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it. No other code changes required.
|
|

|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
- iOS sandboxes keyboard extensions: ~60 MB memory cap, Full Access required.
|
|
- The keyboard does **not** work in password fields or some `WKWebView` textareas (iOS limitation).
|
|
- iOS 18/19 ships with `SFSpeechRecognizer` for on-device ASR. iOS 26+ `SpeechAnalyzer` is planned for the next release — it is significantly faster and supports more locales.
