Download Veetee for Android, install it, and open it. The setup steps connect your account, microphone, and floating V button.

For the alpha download, open App info → three dots → Allow restricted settings first. Then open Accessibility → Veetee floating button. Turn on only the top “Use Veetee floating button” switch. Leave the shortcut switch off.

Android labels can vary. Help → Floating button setup walks you through it again.

Select a text box. Tap the floating V, speak, then tap again to finish. Your words go into that box when they’re ready.

You can speak first and choose a box afterward. A check mark means your text is waiting. Tap a text box to paste it, or tap V again to clear the waiting copy. History keeps your transcript.

Some apps don’t accept automatic insertion yet. If it fails, copy your transcript from History and paste it yourself. Waiting text lasts up to ten minutes and clears when you lock your phone.

Smart Composition means the software acts as an agent: it hears your high-level instructions, understands the subtext (for example, making it “formal”), and creates a brand-new output based on your intent.

Double tap V and turn on Smart Composition. Veetee on its own is fast voice to text; this switch is for when you want it written for you. Tap to talk, then tap to finish as usual. It writes up what you said: it fixes sentence structure, grammar and punctuation, and follows your directions about the document, so “write an email to Sam, sign it your friend Kyle” comes out as that email, directions left out. It keeps your words, strong language included, unless you ask for a different tone.

Want it just once? Leave the toggle off and hold V to finish that recording. Studio’s Finish button also supports this. Try saying, “Make this a friendly email,” followed by your message.

It takes longer than normal dictation and can still change something you meant. Read the result before sending. If Smart Composition fails, hold the entry in History and choose Retry Smart Composition. Your original stays available.

On veetee.dustforge.com, Smart Composition uses a hosted AI model through OpenRouter. Veetee asks for providers that don’t keep or train on your text.

The toggle is saved for your account on this phone. Turn it off for the fast path. Finishing from the notification or reaching the recording limit uses the fast path.

When you’re not recording, hold V. With Detailed Reading off, Veetee gives you a short audio summary of the main text on your screen.

Veetee asks before reading another app. It skips text boxes and common controls. Some apps cannot share their text. Tap V once to stop preparation or playback.

Scroll to where you want to start. Double tap V, turn on Detailed Reading, then hold V.

Reading starts at the top of your current screen and continues downward, including text below the bottom of the screen. It skips text you’ve already scrolled past. It reads the main text instead of making a summary.

Veetee may scroll to gather more text, then try to return to your starting position. It won’t open links or expand hidden sections. Some apps cannot share exactly where their visible text starts.

Tap V to stop. Turn Detailed Reading off to return to summaries. Very long remaining sections still have a limit; for now, move further down and try again.

Tap V once, then quickly press and hold it. Your phone’s camera opens. Take a picture of a page and confirm it. Veetee reads the page aloud in English, translating other languages.

The first time, choose Enhanced or Phone only. Enhanced sends the photo to your Veetee server, which uses a hosted AI model to read and translate it. It handles most languages and skips page numbers, running headers and footnotes. Phone only keeps the photo on your phone; it works best with languages written in the Latin alphabet, and downloads each translation language once (about 30 MB).

Hold the page flat, fill the frame and use good light. Tap V to stop. Change or turn off photo reading in Help → Read aloud.

Open Account → Your books. Tap Scan a new book and photograph the first page. Veetee reads it aloud and saves it as a book. Use Add page for each new page, and Continue to pick up where you stopped.

More lets you listen from the beginning, read along with the English text, rename or delete a book. Books are saved encrypted on your phone only, until you delete them; photos are not kept.

Drag V wherever it feels comfortable. You can leave part of it offscreen; a reachable edge stays visible.

Double tap for its menu. Open Veetee brings up Studio. Hide button stops any active work, removes V and closes Veetee until you open it again.

Opening Veetee restores the button automatically. If Android has turned off Accessibility, use Help → Floating button setup.

The microphone means it’s listening. A moving indicator means it’s processing your words. The check mark means text is waiting for a box.

Writing lines mean it’s preparing a reading; the speaker means audio is playing. An exclamation mark means something went wrong. Check History for saved dictation or Help → Read aloud for the last reading error.

Tap Notes, speak, then tap Finish. Your words appear in the Notes box and in History. Dictation into another app stays in History without filling this box.

The little × clears the Notes box, not History. Copy text copies what’s in the box. Reopening Veetee takes you back to Studio.

Open History. Tap a transcript to copy it. Hold one to see the full text, its original version when available, and any retry options.

Swipe a card to delete it. Its Undo button stays for three seconds. History stays on this phone for 24 hours unless you delete it sooner.

In History, tap Export. This saves your current transcripts and their recording dates to your online account.

Open Account → Online account, or sign in on the Veetee website. You can read, copy, download, or delete your exports there. Nothing in History is uploaded unless you choose Export.

Exports stay while your account is active. After paid access ends, the current retention period is 60 days. Deleting phone History does not delete an export.

Open Words. Enter the spelling you want, and under “Heard as” the ways Veetee mishears it, separated by commas. Entering a word you already have replaces it.

Hard words can come out several ways. In the app, tap a word in your list, type another heard-as spelling in the field that opens and press Done. Tap the word again to close it. In your online account you can also remove a single heard-as spelling with ×. Each word can hold up to 50.

Newest words appear first. Remove deletes a word and all its heard-as spellings. Your words save to your account and follow you to the app, the Ubuntu app and Spelling words in your online account.

Try a random font or style in Studio. The name below each button shows your current choice.

Open Style to pick a palette or font. The lists are alphabetical, and the current choice has a border. The floating V uses your chosen font too.

Style also lets you switch the listening pulse between the soft background color and the accent color. Your palette and font save to your account. New installs start with Cherry Soda and Pacifico.

Veetee saves recordings on your phone while they’re being transcribed. If the connection drops, check History and use the retry option on the saved entry.

Unfinished audio stays for up to three hours. Once a transcript is safely saved, its audio is deleted. You can’t replay audio after that. Recording sessions can last up to 30 minutes.

Reading audio is temporary and does not appear in History. Hold V again to retry a failed reading.

Tap the menu marked Account. Online account opens the website for exported transcripts, your password, and connected devices. You can also sign out, review privacy information, or delete your account.

Signing back in restores your saved vocabulary, palette, and font. Uninstalling the app removes its local History. Export transcripts you want to keep before uninstalling.

Veetee checks for updates when you open it. You can also use Help → Check for updates. Android asks before installing an update.

Found a bug or want a feature? Open Help, describe what happened, and send the request. You can read replies there too.

Help → Change server is for the Veetee team’s test servers. Everyone else keeps the default, which is the Veetee service.

The microphone records when you start it. Dictation audio goes to your chosen server over HTTPS. Reading sends the text you ask it to read, and Enhanced photo reading sends the photo you take. Password and editable fields are excluded from screen reading.

The server processes dictation and reading without archiving their content. Local History, explicit exports, and account settings have separate retention rules. See Privacy & your data for the full details.
