Only on QuietKey
Things no other keyboard does.
Auto dictation
Open a messaging app and QuietKey starts listening. No buttons to press, no modes to switch. Just start talking.
Bluetooth push to talk
Use a foot pedal, a smart ring or a remote clicker to start and stop dictation from across the room.
Hands-free send
Speak your message, QuietKey tidies it and sends it, without you touching the phone. Good for driving, cooking or full hands.
