iKK Voice

iKK Voice helps people whose voice is hard to understand – after an illness, with a weakened voice or on a ventilator. You speak as usual; the app recognises your words, shows them as text and reads them out in a clear, natural voice.

FIVE MODES FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

• Listen and Speak
Dictate into the text field, correct if needed and have the text read aloud – or copy it.

• Phone call: tap to speak
Your sentences collect in a list – a new entry after every speaking pause. One tap and iKK Voice speaks the sentence aloud through the loudspeaker – so the person on the phone hears it.

• Listen and Suggest
Speak, then stop the microphone: the AI suggests sentences that sum up what you wanted to say. Tap the right one to play it.

• Listen and Translate
What you say is translated into a language of your choice, shown and read aloud.

• Hearing impaired
For people who are hard of hearing: iKK Voice writes down what is being said and shows it large and easy to read – like a chat, with a name and its own colour for each person. With the companion app iKK Voice Mic, other phones become microphones: everyone speaks into their own phone and the text appears on yours. Connected over the local Wi‑Fi or the internet, end-to-end encrypted.

YOUR VOICE, YOUR CHOICE

Choose between Apple's on-device voices and speech services such as ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Deepgram, Cartesia and Voiceitt. You set the voice, pace and language yourself.

MADE FOR ACCESSIBILITY

• Works with Voice Control and VoiceOver
• End a recording by voice, e.g. "stop recording"
• Arrow buttons instead of swipe gestures for scrolling
• Audio filter and speaking-pause detection for calmer recordings
• History of your sentences for quick reuse
• Interface in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Croatian, Serbian, Turkish, Portuguese and Dutch

PRIVACY

With Apple speech recognition, iKK Voice works without an account. The app only uses a cloud service after you have explicitly agreed – and you can withdraw that consent at any time. API keys are stored securely in your device's keychain.

NOTES

ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Deepgram, Cartesia and Voiceitt require your own API key from the respective provider; costs may apply there. The Listen and Suggest mode needs an OpenAI API key. iKK Voice is a communication aid, not a medical device.
