Languages & Multilingual

Use LotusQ in 78 languages: let it detect the language on each dictation, or pin one.

Automatic Language Detection

By default, LotusQ works out which language you're speaking each time you hold the key, so there is nothing to switch. Then it types the text in that language, in any app.

Supported Languages

You can dictate in any of 78 languages, including English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Want it typed in a different language from the one you speak? See Translate.

Pinning Your Language

Go to Settings → General → Language to choose Auto (the default) or pin one language. Pinning skips language detection, which makes each dictation a little faster.

If you speak more than one language, leave it on Auto: LotusQ detects the language on each dictation.

Cloud language routing

Language detection and transcription run on LotusQ's servers, so they need an internet connection. LotusQ sends each dictation to a speech processor for its language, then tidies the text.
