Voice Journaling
Speak your thoughts. Keep them private.
Some moments are too full for typing. Kokoro Nikki lets you speak your journal entry naturally, and transcribes it instantly — entirely on your device, with no audio ever leaving your phone.
On-device, always
Unlike most voice-to-text features that route audio through cloud servers, Kokoro Nikki uses your device's built-in speech recognition engine. Your voice stays on your device. There is no recording, no upload, no server-side storage of audio data — ever.
Works offline
Because transcription is handled locally, voice journaling works with no internet connection. Write on a plane, in the mountains, during a power outage. Your words are yours, regardless of connectivity.
Supported languages
Voice journaling works in English, Spanish, and Japanese — including full support for the natural rhythms of each language. Japanese dictation supports both casual speech and formal registers, with mora-accurate transcription for haiku composition.
From voice to entry in seconds
Tap the microphone, speak, and tap again. The transcription appears immediately in your entry editor, where you can review, edit, and save it. You can also dictate additions to an existing typed entry — mixing voice and keyboard seamlessly.
