Understanding the SpeakON AppUpdated a month ago
What the app does
The SpeakON app turns your voice into text you can send anywhere on your iPhone. Open a text field in any app, speak, and SpeakON sends polished, context-appropriate text directly to your cursor. No keyboard. No editing.
It works with your iPhone's built-in microphone. If you also have the SpeakON device, the app connects to it and extends the experience with a physical Record button and offline recording.
Getting started
Download and log in
Scan the QR code below to download the latest version of the SpeakON App.
If you already have it, please update to the latest version.
SpeakON supports three login methods:
• Apple
• Email (verification code, no password needed)
If you use the same email address across different sign-in methods, SpeakON will recognize them as the same account.
Set up the keyboard
To use SpeakON inside other apps, you need to add the SpeakON keyboard to your iPhone once.
1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard.
2. Select SpeakON from the list.
3. Tap SpeakON in your keyboard list and turn on Allow Full Access.
After that, switch to the SpeakON keyboard in any app by tapping a text field, then tapping and holding the globe icon on the keyboard.
How voice input works
Tap any text field and switch to the SpeakON keyboard. Tap the record button, speak, then release. Your text appears at the cursor.
You can also record directly inside the SpeakON app if you don't need to insert text into a specific field.
Each session runs for up to 5 minutes. If you need more, press again to start a new session.
Features
Smart Polish
Smart Polish removes filler words ("um," "uh"), cuts repeated content, and handles self-corrections. You speak the way you think; the output is clean.
You say: | "Let's meet Friday... actually no, Monday morning." |
You get: | "Let's meet on Monday morning." |
Smart Polish is on by default. Settings:
• On — polishes every recording automatically
• Off — keeps exactly what you said
• Ask — shows you both versions and lets you choose after each recording
Smart List
Smart List detects when you're listing items and formats the output as a structured numbered or bulleted list.
You say: | "Three things: meet the deadline, check quality, and send the report." |
You get: | 1. Meet the deadline 2. Check quality 3. Send the report |
Smart List is on by default. Settings:
• On — auto-formats lists when detected
• Off — keeps all output in paragraph format
Style
Style adjusts the tone and register of your text based on the app you're writing into. You pick a mode; Style applies it to match the platform automatically.
Mode | What it does |
Natural | Keep your natural tone |
Friendly | For friendly everyday message |
Professional | For polish work messages |
Concise | For shorter, clearer messages |
Natural | "Can you take a look at this and let me know what you think ?" |
Friendly | "Could you take a look at this and let me know what you think? Thanks." |
Professional | "Could you review this and share your feedback?" |
Concise | "Please review this and share your feedback." |
Style reads the app currently in focus and adapts the output accordingly. The same Professional setting writes differently in Gmail than in Slack.
Note: Style only works when your transcription language is set to English.
Translation
Translation converts your speech into another language in real time. Speak in one language, receive output in another.
Default behavior:
• Speaking English outputs Japanese
• Speaking any other language outputs English
You can change both the input and output language in Settings.

Managing your account
Signing in
SpeakON supports three sign-in methods. There is no separate registration step — the first time you sign in, your account is created automatically.
Sign in with Apple or Google
Tap the Apple or Google button and complete the prompt. SpeakON uses your Apple ID or Google account to identify you — no additional setup needed.
Sign in with Email
No password is required. SpeakON sends a one-time code to your email each time you sign in.
1. Enter your email address and tap Send code.
2. Check your inbox for a 6-digit verification code.
3. Enter the code within 5 minutes to sign in.
If you enter the wrong code 5 times, you’ll need to wait 10 minutes before trying again. You can request a new code after 60 seconds.
Your account page
Tap Account in the bottom navigation bar to view your profile. From here you can:
• Edit your display name — tap your name at the top of the page to update it
• Manage your connected device — tap Device to view or disconnect your SpeakON hardware
• Access app settings — adjust transcription language, Style, and other preferences
• Send feedback or reach support — use the Feedback or Discord options
• View app version — listed next to About
Signing out
1. Go to the Account tab.
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Sign out.
Your recordings and settings are preserved locally after signing out and will be available again when you sign back in on the same device.
Deleting your account
This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
1. Go to the Account tab.
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Sign out.
3. On the sign-out page, tap Deactivate account and confirm when prompted.
Deleting your account permanently removes all your data, both on your device and in the cloud.
Things to know
• You must be signed in to use any SpeakON feature, including the keyboard.
• Data does not sync across devices. If you sign in on a new device, you will start fresh.
• Sessions last up to 30 days. After that, you will be prompted to sign in again.
Common questions
Do I need the SpeakON device to use the app?
No. The app works without the hardware using your iPhone's built-in microphone.
Does Style change what I said?
No. It adjusts the wording and tone, not the content of your message.
Does SpeakON work in every app?
Yes, in any app with a standard text field — email, messages, notes, documents, social apps, and more.
Which iPhones are compatible?
Any iPhone running iOS 16 or above. Check in Settings > General > About.
Who owns my data?
You do. SpeakON doesn't use voice or text data for advertising. Disable cloud upload in Settings to keep all data stored on your device only.
What login method should I use?
Any of the three — Apple, Google, or email. If you use the same email address across different sign-in methods, SpeakON will recognize them as the same account.
