## Say it while it is fresh.

Start a voice session, speak the message, and bring the words back to where you are writing.

## Dictate a longer thought

Use your voice when a message takes more than a quick line. Capture the thought as speech, then review the transcription as text.

## Use the keyboard’s mic control

Once the voice session is ready, use the Quikk keyboard’s microphone control to dictate in your writing workflow.

## Give the transcript a final read

Check names, numbers, and any words the transcription missed. Insert the result and edit it before sending the message.

## Start the session. Speak your message.

Quikk uses its iPhone app to start a voice session. Starting a new session may open the app before you return to your keyboard.

## Start a Quikk voice session

## Return to your writing

Open the supported text field you want to use. Switch to the Quikk keyboard and use its mic control to dictate.

## Insert the transcription

Review the words returned by transcription, then insert them into your draft. Correct anything that was heard differently.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why can starting voice typing open the Quikk app?

Voice typing starts a session through the Quikk iPhone app, with microphone permission. Starting a new session may open the app; you can then return to your writing and use the keyboard’s mic control.

### Does the keyboard record without microphone permission?

No. The voice session needs microphone permission to capture your speech. Follow the setup in the Quikk app before using the mic control.

### Is voice transcription processed locally?

Quikk transcription uses cloud providers. Audio you submit for transcription is sent for processing, so the voice workflow needs a network connection.

### Does it work in every iPhone app?

Quikk works in apps and text fields that allow third-party keyboards. Some apps and secure fields use the system keyboard instead.

### How do I enable the Quikk keyboard?

Once Quikk is installed, open iPhone Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard and choose Quikk. Allow Full Access for connected tools, then hold the globe key in a supported text field to switch to Quikk.
