iPhone only on launch. iPad layout follows in a later release.
Lven Instant for iPhone
A custom keyboard with a mic button. Tap, speak — text appears the instant you stop. Transcription runs entirely on your iPhone, so there’s no upload and no waiting.
Lven for iPhone ships exclusively through the App Store. The build is currently catching up to the desktop release — once it’s feature-equivalent and Apple has approved the listing, this button switches to a direct “View on App Store” link. An active subscription is required for transcription to work.
~300 MB free storage
The on-device model downloads on first launch. After that no further downloads are needed for transcription.
Lven keyboard
Install the app, enable Lven in Settings → General → Keyboards, then toggle Allow Full Access. Long-press the globe to switch to it from any app.
Microphone
Built-in mic, AirPods, or any connected headset. iOS prompts the first time you tap the mic button on the keyboard.
Network for subscription check only
The app makes one periodic call to our subscription API to confirm your account is active. No audio, no transcripts, nothing else leaves your iPhone.
