What's new

Version 2.0.4 · Nov 6, 2026

What's New in NuKey DICTATION Speak and NuKey types for you. Tap the new Dictation control on your board and a recorder opens. Your words are transcribed on your iPhone, so no audio leaves the device, then land in the text field you were typing in. Choose how the text comes out: • Verbatim – exactly what you said • Tidy – fillers removed, punctuation and capitals added • Message, Email, Bullets or Prompt – your rambling turned into a short message, a clear email, a bullet list or a clear instruction for an AI assistant Dictation is a board control, so you can place it where you like and reorder it with the rest of your controls. There's also a Dictate with NuKey action for Shortcuts and Siri. SOCIAL POSTS Turn a rough draft into a post ready to publish. Pick a goal (Engagement, Announcement, Promotion, Question, Story, Thank you, Humour or Professional), add tweaks (Fix grammar, Stronger hook, Call to action, Add emoji, Shorter, Keep my voice) and get three different takes, each with a note on what changed. Long-press the emoji key to open it from any app. It runs on-device with Apple Intelligence. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Ask Siri to change your keyboard without opening the app: • Apply any keycap theme by name • Switch your key sound • Build a surprise keyboard Dictate with NuKey is also available as an action. NEW KEYBOARD EXTRAS • Astromech – a three-legged droid rolls across your board, turns its dome to look out of the screen, then rolls off. • Bomber – a tank rolls on and shells your keys, leaving scorched craters. The keys are rebuilt afterwards and keep typing throughout. • Updates to Claw and Pacman, with new settings. THEMES Duplicate any built-in theme (long-press it and tap Duplicate) and edit the copy to make it your own. DICTATION The Dictation section has had a revamp is so much better. Multi language support and lightning fast translation. SMOOTHER APP A refreshed interface, with faster, smoother scrolling throughout the app.
