It writes what you said.

Copperplate is our dictation keyboard for lawyers and staff who dictate on Android phones. Talk for a few minutes, correcting yourself as you go, and it types clean, punctuated text into the app you're in.

It does the work on your phone, or on a server the phone checks first.

Talk the way you would to an assistant.

  1. Tap the mic and talk

    Pause, back up, say "um." A live preview runs inside the keyboard panel while you speak. Nothing goes into your email or document until you stop.

  2. Correct yourself out loud

    Say "the 14th, no, the 15th" and it applies your correction. Filler words and false starts are removed. Spoken commands start a paragraph or a list, and dates, amounts and claim numbers are typed the way you'd write them.

  3. Stop, and the text goes in

    Tap stop and the finished text goes into the app you were using, such as an email, a message or a notes field.

Example

See what it changed.

The cleanup is built to edit your words, never to summarize them, answer questions or add facts. It's also built never to soften injury or medical details.

If a name, number or date changes without your correction, it's flagged. Tap "Show changes" to see each edit, with the raw transcript one tap away. Read what it types before you send it.

Verbatim
Every word as spoken, with punctuation
Clean
Fillers and false starts out, your corrections applied. The default.
Polished
Tidier sentences for letters and client updates, built to keep the same facts
Example

Names are where dictation goes wrong.

Add the names from a matter, such as clients, adjusters, providers and streets, and Copperplate uses them when it spells.

Type them in, import a file you choose or have your IT team push a firm-wide list.

Stored
On the phone.
Private Cloud edition
The names a dictation needs go with it, encrypted.
Example

Two editions. Choose where the work happens.

They're two separate apps.

What leaves the phone

Checks your IT team can run

On a test phone, or with us on a demo call.

  1. Dictate with no network. Put a test phone with the On-Device edition in airplane mode, or behind a network monitor. It keeps working, and the monitor shows no connections from the app.
  2. Watch it refuse. On a demo, the Private Cloud edition refuses to send audio to a server whose signed software report doesn't match. We tested that check from a laptop client in October 2026: with one digit of the expected value changed, no audio was sent. The write-up is available on request.
Step-by-step checks

What it doesn't do

  • Keep your audio or dictated text on any server we control
  • Use your words to train a model
  • Carry analytics, advertising or tracking libraries
  • Build a voiceprint or speaker profile
  • Move processing to the cloud without showing you
  • Listen while the keyboard is closed, or in password fields

Questions about Copperplate

Can it get a name or number wrong?

Yes. Speech recognition can mishear a name or a number, most often a name it hasn't been given, which is what the vocabulary is for. If the cleanup changes a name, number or date you didn't correct, it's flagged. A misheard word isn't flagged. Read the text before you send it, as you would anything an assistant typed.

Do you train models on what we dictate?

No. We don't train any model on customer dictation.

Android warned me this keyboard could collect what I type. Does it?

No. Android shows that warning for every keyboard that isn't built in. Copperplate handles only what you dictate, and its mic is off in password fields. Text you put into another app is handled by that app.

Could an update add internet access later?

No. We don't release an On-Device build with the internet permission, and every build is checked for it. Through managed Google Play, your administrators can also delay an update and read its permission list first.

Which phones does it run on?

Copperplate runs on Android phones, as a keyboard in any app that accepts typing. The On-Device edition needs a phone with enough memory for its models.

Does it connect to our case management system?

No. It types wherever you can type, including the web version of your case management system. It doesn't sync with or file into other systems.

Does it meet our confidentiality duties?

Your firm makes that call. The security page gives your reviewer the facts: what leaves the phone in each edition, who keeps what, and what we don't claim.

Setting it up on your phone

  1. In your phone's Settings, open the list of on-screen keyboards and turn on Copperplate. Where that list sits varies by phone maker.
  2. Android shows its standard warning for a keyboard that isn't built in. Tap OK.
  3. In any text field, switch keyboards, pick Copperplate and allow the microphone when it asks.
  4. The "Back to my keyboard" key returns you to your usual keyboard.

On a firm phone, if Copperplate doesn't appear, your IT team may need to approve it first. If you're still stuck, email support@ergonomc.com. Please don't include client names or case details.
