Quick Start

  1. Open Too Cool To Type and follow the setup checklist on Home.
  2. Add the keyboard: iOS Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Too Cool To Type.
  3. Open the Too Cool To Type keyboard entry and turn on Allow Full Access (needed for voice input).
  4. Allow Microphone and Speech Recognition when Too Cool To Type asks.
  5. In any app, switch to the Too Cool To Type keyboard, tap or hold the microphone, and speak.

The keyboard only inserts text. It never sends a message for you, so you always review and send it yourself.

Important: Do not dictate passwords, verification codes, payment or bank details, government identifiers, health information, or other confidential or highly sensitive information. The app is a consumer writing tool, not a secure vault, professional-advice service, regulated-data platform, or records-management system.

Voice Input

Speak naturally. Too Cool To Type removes filler words, applies the corrections you make while speaking, fixes grammar and punctuation, and keeps the language you spoke.

Why the app opens. iOS keyboards cannot use the microphone, so recording runs in the Too Cool To Type app. The first time you dictate (and again after iOS ends the voice session), the keyboard offers to open the app to start the voice session. Then return to the app you were typing in.

To dictate:

  1. Tap the microphone and speak; tap again to finish. Or press and hold, and release to finish.
  2. The polished text is inserted where your cursor is.
  3. If polishing is unavailable, tap Insert what I said to insert your words as recognized.

Translate. Turn on the Translate key on the keyboard to speak one language and write in another. Set the language pair in Too Cool To Type → Settings → Translate mode, or swap it from the keyboard. With Translate off, the text stays in the language you speak.

Voice edit (✎). Select text in any app, tap Voice edit, and say how to change it, for example "make it shorter" or "more formal".
