What it does
SpeakON is an AI dictation app for iPhone, paired with an optional MagSafe voice button. You press, speak, and cleaned-up text lands in whatever app you are typing into: fillers and backtracks are removed, rambling becomes lists, and the tone adapts to the app. It also saves voice notes you can edit by voice and translates into 12 languages. The app is free with a weekly word limit; buying the $129 device unlocks Pro for life with no subscription.

- One-press voice typing into any app. Press the button (or use the app), speak, and polished text is inserted into the app you are writing in, with no app switching or copy-paste. The button also works while the iPhone is locked, offline or on the move, recording on the device and syncing later. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
- Smart Polish and Smart List. Smart Polish strips fillers, repetitions and self-corrections, so a change of mind mid-sentence ends up as the final version. Smart List turns spoken sequences into a clean, organised list. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
- App-aware tone (Style). SpeakON detects which app you are writing into and adjusts the tone to match, for example more formal for email and more casual for chat. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
- Voice notes and voice edits. Notes turns recordings into titled, editable notes. You can reshape any output by voice instead of the keyboard, and a personal dictionary keeps your slang, jargon and name spellings. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
