Languages & translation
Dictate in any language — even mixed
TapWisper supports multilingual dictation. It auto-detects the spoken language, handles mixed-language speech when you switch mid-sentence, and can translate your dictation into another language as you speak. The speech picker lists 21 languages, local Whisper models cover 99, and the app itself is available in English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
