SpeakUp Dictation

SpeakUp turns your voice into text — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No subscription. No AI rewriting. Your words, exactly as you said them.

Hold a button, speak, and your words appear in any app — Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, or anywhere else you type. SpeakUp installs a custom keyboard with a dedicated mic button that works everywhere.

HOW IT WORKS

SpeakUp runs an open-source AI speech recognition model directly on Apple's Neural Engine via CoreML. Your voice is transcribed on your device in seconds. Nothing is sent to the internet. Nothing is stored. Nothing is shared.

Tap the mic button on the SpeakUp keyboard, speak into the app, and your transcribed text appears right where you were typing. It's that simple.

WHAT YOU GET

- Custom keyboard with mic button — works in every app
- 100% on-device transcription on the Neural Engine
- 9 European languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian
- Works completely offline — no internet required
- Automatic punctuation and smart formatting
- Free, no subscription, no account, no word limits

WHY NOT APPLE DICTATION?

Apple Dictation sends some audio to Apple's servers for processing. It only works in system apps. And for many languages and accents, it simply gets words wrong.

SpeakUp runs a dedicated AI model on your device. It works in every app via a custom keyboard. And it actually understands accented English and European languages — because that's what it was built for.

WHY NOT WISPR FLOW?

Wispr Flow costs $15/month and sends every word you speak to their cloud servers. They also rewrite what you say with AI — you don't get your own words back.

SpeakUp is free, runs 100% on your device, and transcribes your words faithfully. No paraphrasing. No cloud. No subscription.

ALSO ON MAC

SpeakUp for Mac (€29 one-time) gives you the same on-device dictation everywhere on macOS — system-wide hotkey, custom domain Lexicons (medical, software, legal), and longer recording sessions. Learn more at getspeakup.app.
