Apple rejected my dictation app for using the accessibility API

Apple rejected an update to WhisperPad, a dictation app built by its developer to manage hand pain from repetitive strain injury, citing improper use of the accessibility API despite the app's accessibility purpose and Apple's previous approval of identical versions. The app allows users to dictate text that is transcribed locally and injected directly into applications without server transmission, designed specifically to minimize hand movements needed for typing corrections. The developer appealed the rejection, emphasizing the app's accessibility function, but as of late April Apple had not yet issued a final decision.
