Auri
Auri gives Apple-device users an assistant keyboard for dictation, writing, translation, chat, and transcription. Mac users can also dictate cleaned-up text into the app at the cursor or transcribe offline with a local speech engine.
One of 76 tools in Chat
Who it's for
- iPhone and iPad users who want dictation, writing help, and translation in the apps where they type.
- People who record meetings or voice notes and need transcripts, summaries, meeting notes, or to-do lists.
- Mac users who want to dictate polished text into their current app or use a local speech engine for offline dictation.
Not the right fit if…
- People who need keyboard assistance in password or card fields: Auri's keyboard is intentionally hidden in those fields.
- iPhone users who need keyboard dictation, writing tools, and chat to work offline: those features use the cloud.
How it fits your workflow
On iPhone or iPad, install Auri, enable its keyboard with Allow Full Access, then select it with the globe key. Type, swipe, dictate, or use writing tools and Ask Auri in supported text-entry contexts.
Allow connected sources such as Calendar, Gmail, or Notion individually if you want Ask Auri to use them. For actions such as creating a calendar event, review and confirm the proposed action.
For notes and transcripts, write a note, record audio, import audio or video, or provide a YouTube link. On Mac, use Auri Voice's shortcut to dictate at the cursor; choose a local speech engine for offline dictation.
