Happy launch day @gabriel_alonso, the real-time translation feature sounds incredibly useful for international teams like ours.
I tried using it, but I couldn't find where to enter the Groq API. The settings page doesn't mention it either.
> Free usage is limited to 70 transcriptions per week. Upgrading to the "Pro" plan grants unlimited transcription capabilities and advanced features.
Also, the pricing information isn't listed on their website. Is this product so premium that they want to keep prices hidden? If its features are worth highlighting, they should clearly display them. I understand there's a Pro version, but how much does it cost? Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription? The lack of this information is extremely unhelpful.
Does it work on Apple Watch too? If I could input text directly from Apple Watch and have it automatically saved to Drafts or Notion, that would be amazing - but even that possibility isn't mentioned on their website. Overall, I felt there was significant lack of explanation. This represents a huge opportunity cost for user acquisition - what a missed chance.
Automated translation using plamo translate. No proofreading or revision has been performed.
Congrats @gabriel_alonso !
How does your transcription accuracy compare to Apple's native dictation (this is literally pain in the ass apples feature) and models like Whisper in real-world scenarios? Also, is the processing done on-device or via cloud?

Interesting approach going mobile-first with voice typing. The challenge I've seen is accuracy drops significantly with form fields vs free text — how does it handle structured input like emails, phone numbers, dates?
Did you consider building this as a share sheet extension or Shortcut instead of a full keyboard replacement? Custom keyboards on iOS have always had a rough time with the Full Access permission. Users get nervous granting it even when the app isn't collecting anything.

Voice typing in iOS is very limited, especially for Polish, so I totally understand of the need for such solutions... good luck!
