Keyboard Settings

This is the control room for the Vavus AI keyboard. On iOS, you activate a timed dictation session here. On Android, the keyboard runs through the accessibility service so the screen shows it as always available. You also pick the speech and translation models, change the keyboard theme, set the speech language, and choose from dozens of keyboard layouts.
