		coder543 1 day ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 There is also a new, larger voice to text model available... but not for an old iPhone like the 13 mini. Only like the iPhone 17 Pro and above. The best workaround is a third party app that lets you run Parakeet V3 or Whisper on your phone. There are quite a few.

Dictus is one that I’ve been playing around with.

This is GREAT! It’s not possible to enable local-only dictation on iOS with the OS alone. :(

It’s by far the best speech to text I’ve ever used so I’m a fan

Can you clarify, you like third party? Or you like the larger Apple model
