BriskPen is a privacy-first voice-dictation keyboard for Android. Speak naturally and it turns your words into clean, ready-to-paste text — entirely on your terms. No tracking, no accounts, and no developer server holding your data.
What is BriskPen?
BriskPen is an Android keyboard (input method) built for fast, accurate voice dictation. Tap the mic, talk, and your speech becomes text wherever you type. You choose how it works: send audio to a transcription service using your own API key, or run transcription fully offline on your device. An optional AI step can tidy, reword or translate what you said before it's inserted. BriskPen is a paid app — no ads, no in-app purchases.
Why people choose BriskPen
Private by design
Your recordings, transcripts and settings live on your device. There's no BriskPen server and no developer backend — your content is never automatically sent to us.
Your keys, your AI
Bring your own API key for Groq, OpenAI, NVIDIA NIM or Anthropic, or point BriskPen at any compatible endpoint. You're always in control of where your words go.
Works offline
Prefer to send nothing anywhere? Switch on on-device transcription and your audio never leaves your phone.
Smart AI cleanup
Optionally reword, tidy up or translate your dictation automatically, so what lands in the text box is already polished.
Encrypted by default
API keys are sealed with AES-256-GCM in the Android Keystore, and every transfer to a service you've chosen runs over HTTPS.
Your cloud, optional
Want backups? BriskPen can save transcripts (and optionally audio) to your own Google Drive or Dropbox — only if you switch it on.
No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No data collection.
How it works
1. Tap and speak
Open the BriskPen keyboard in any app and tap the microphone to start dictating.
2. It becomes text
Your speech is transcribed by the provider you chose — or offline, on your device.
3. Polished and pasted
Optional AI cleanup tidies the result, then BriskPen types it straight into the field.
Built by The Privacy Technologist
BriskPen follows one simple principle: your voice and your words are yours. They stay on your device and only go where you send them. Read exactly what the app does — and doesn't do — with your data.
