"Hey auntie, just wanted to say I'll be visiting in July — super excited to see you and the whole family!"
"Hallo Tante, ich wollte nur kurz sagen, dass ich im Juli vorbeikomme — ich freue mich so sehr, dich und die ganze Familie zu sehen!"
"yeah so we need to push the deadline back like a week or two, the API stuff just isn't done yet"
"We need to extend the deadline by one to two weeks, as the API integration is not yet complete."
Name the mode, write a one-line prompt, and the button appears in the keyboard. Switch modes between recordings with a single tap.
SkipKey detects your language from your voice — no selector, no setting, no switching.
