微信输入法 (WeChat Input Method) is Tencent's free input method for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, with a HarmonyOS build since July 2026. Since the 3.0 mobile release in December 2025 its release notes have centred on voice: a large-model recogniser that takes Mandarin, English and "multiple dialects" spoken freely in one utterance, no limit on recording length, and offline voice on Android, iOS and HarmonyOS. On Mac you hold fn (Ctrl+Win on Windows) to talk and the text is transcribed into the field in real time; on mobile you long-press the space bar. The mid-2026 releases added an AI tidy-up pass that strips filler words, adds punctuation and paragraphs, reorders muddled sentences and summarises long dictation into bullet points. The app is completely free with no in-app purchases; the privacy policy says audio is sent to Tencent servers for real-time transcription and not stored.

Pros

  • Free on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS with no in-app purchases; voice works in any app as the system keyboard
  • Mandarin, English and Chinese dialects mixed freely; hold fn on Mac or Ctrl+Win on Windows, long-press space on mobile
  • AI tidy-up removes filler words, adds punctuation and paragraphs and summarises long dictation; offline voice on mobile

Cons

  • Chinese-first product with a Chinese-only interface; no published list or count of voice languages and dialects
  • No voice translation (边写边译 only translates typed text), no voice commands and no custom voice vocabulary
  • Offline voice recognition is documented only for Android, iOS and HarmonyOS; the desktop builds need a connection
