How Qenzo works
The questions people actually ask, answered plainly. Qenzo is an AI dictation keyboard: you speak the way you really speak — languages mixed, sentences trailing off — and it writes finished text in the language you choose, in your own voice, inside any app you already type in.
Can I speak one language and send the message in another?
Yes — that is the main thing Qenzo does. You dictate in the language you think in and choose the language it comes out in; 140 output languages are supported, picked per message rather than per keyboard. It is not a literal translation: the filler and false starts of real speech go, while the meaning, the facts and your register stay.
Does it work inside WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps?
Yes. Qenzo is a keyboard, so it works everywhere you already type — WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, ChatGPT, Gmail, Slack, notes. Nothing has to be copied between apps.
How is this different from the voice typing already on my phone?
Built-in dictation, Gboard included, transcribes: it types roughly what it heard, filler and all, in one language, and you clean it up afterwards. Qenzo finishes the message instead — it removes the noise of real speech, punctuates it, can write it in a different language, and adapts the tone to whoever is receiving it, without changing what you meant.
What if I mix two languages in one sentence?
That is normal speech, and Qenzo is built for it. Half a sentence in one language and half in another comes out as one clean message in the language you chose — the switch is not treated as an error to be fixed.
Which languages are supported?
140 languages to speak in, plus a mode that works out which one you are speaking, and 140 to write in. The list shows Chinese twice, because simplified and traditional Chinese are two ways of writing one language; Cantonese is a language of its own. The keyboard itself ships 25 layouts, including AZERTY, QWERTZ, ЙЦУКЕН, Armenian, Greek, Ukrainian and Dvorak.
Can it write the way my profession writes?
Yes, and that is a separate setting from tone. You tell Qenzo who is writing — a lawyer, a doctor, a builder, a recruiter — and the same words come out in that craft's shape. The role is one tap from 100 professions or described in your own words. The same 100 professions also carry vocabularies, up to four active at once, so the words of your trade stop being mangled.
Can I add my own words, names and brands?
Yes. A personal dictionary of up to 200 names, brands, project names and terms that Qenzo must hear and spell your way, plus a list of words you never use so you stop correcting the same one after every dictation.
Can it send a voice message in my own voice?
Yes. The finished text can be sent as a voice message spoken in a clone of your own voice, recorded once from a short sample — useful when the moment calls for audio but you are somewhere you cannot speak. It speaks the supported languages, so the voice message can be in a language you do not speak yourself. WhatsApp takes it in one tap, other messengers through the share sheet. Voice messages are part of Qenzo Pro.
Which AI model writes the text?
You choose. Seven families: Gemini, GLM and DeepSeek are free; Claude, GPT, Qwen and Kimi come with Pro. Speech recognition is deliberately not switchable — hearing what was said is a perception task, not a matter of taste, and the recogniser is chosen by measurement instead. The family you pick changes the writing, never the listening.
Does it work offline?
Partly. Typing, word suggestions in 140 languages, autocorrect and Latin-to-native-script transliteration are on the phone and need no network. Everything the AI does — dictation, translation, tone, voice messages — goes through our server and needs a connection.
What does it cost?
Free: 50 actions once you create an account, no card — a one-time allowance, not a refill. An action is a dictation or a rewrite — reading your history, searching it, notes, statistics and settings never spend one. Qenzo Pro: $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year in the app stores (US pricing — most countries pay a lower regional price, down to $1.99 a month), which removes the limit, opens every model family and adds voice messages in your own voice. There is no free trial period, and nothing is charged until you subscribe.
Which devices is Qenzo on?
Five systems, all released: Android and iPhone on the phone, and macOS, Windows and Linux on the computer. On the phone Qenzo is a keyboard; on the computer it is a desktop app — hold a key, speak, and the finished text lands in whatever window you were typing in. One account and one subscription cover all of them. There is no iPad version and no web version. Every download is on one page.
Is there a Qenzo app for Mac?
Yes. The Mac app is version 1.1.16 — one universal disk image, Qenzo.dmg, 225 MB, running natively on Apple silicon and Intel, signed and notarized by Apple so it opens without a security warning. It needs macOS 11 or newer. Hold the fn key, speak, let go, and the text is typed into the app you were using; macOS asks once for the microphone and for the Accessibility permission, which is what allows that typing.
Does Qenzo work on Windows?
Yes. Qenzo-Setup.exe, 104 MB, for Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit. It installs for the current user, so no administrator password is asked for, and Qenzo appears in the Start menu and the tray. The hotkey is Control + Space, or hold both Control keys. The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC” — choose More info, then Run anyway; a certificate is being issued.
Is there a Linux version?
Yes, and it is a full member of the family rather than a side project — most dictation apps have no Linux build at all. One command installs it without root: curl -fsSL https://qenzo.ai/install.sh | sh. An AppImage (133 MB) and a .deb (92 MB) are offered as well. It types into X11 directly, and on Wayland it uses the ydotool helper.
What is Qenzo called in the app stores?
“Qenzo: Voice to Text” in both: on Google Play, where the package is com.qenzo.app, and on the App Store, where the id is 6790532997. Older names refer to the same app - the Play listing was “Qenzo AI Voice Typing Keyboard” until September 2026 and “Qenzo: AI Voice Keyboard” before that. Both are published by Venture Deals, Co., both use the same account, and the only official website is qenzo.ai.
Does Qenzo store what I dictate?
The recording itself is never written to disk — it is held in memory long enough to be understood and then discarded. The text is kept as history so the app can learn how you write, private mode leaves no history row at all, and everything the account holds can be exported in a readable file or deleted. See the privacy policy.
Do I have to give up my normal keyboard?
No. Qenzo is a full keyboard you can type on — 25 layouts, offline word suggestions, autocorrect that only changes a word when you tap it — and the globe key switches back to your other keyboard whenever you want it, for example for swipe typing or emoji, which Qenzo does not have.
What Qenzo is not
It is not a chatbot — it writes what you said, not its own ideas. It is not a translator that flattens you into textbook language. It is not a transcription service: the text arrives finished, not raw. And it is not an offline product: everything the AI does needs a connection.
