### 2/5 — 他のキーボードにまた戻れなくなった

*2026-08-16*

iPad で一旦Speaklyを選ぶと他のキーボードに戻れなくなるバグが修理されていたのに、バグが復活した。

他のキーボードに替えるための地球儀マークが "Click to Speak" ボタンの下に隠れてしまっていて押せない。早急に修理して欲しい。

The bug where selecting Speakly prevents users from switching back to other keyboards has returned on iPad, even though it was previously fixed.

The globe icon used to switch keyboards is hidden behind the 'Click to Speak' button, making it impossible to tap. Please fix this as soon as possible.

**Developer response:** Yes, we’ll address this issue as soon as possible.

### 3/5 — 手入力はいいアイデアだが完成度がイマイチ

*2026-05-16*

誤変換などを手動で補正できるのは良いのですが、iPhoneの日本語フリックと使い勝手が違うのが残念。連打を無効化できてほしいのと、句読点などのレイアウトは純正に合わせて欲しい

**Developer response:** Okay, regarding the layout—specifically the keyboard layout—we’ll make some adjustments soon.Thank you very much for your feedback.

### 2/5 — No keyboard selection button

*2026-04-21, version 1.1.4*

How can I select another keyboard, such as Gboard, when the Speakly keyboard is active? There is no button on the keyboard for this!

### 3/5 — 今後に期待

*2026-03-24*

次のことが期待と違いました。
英語キーボードを含んでいない。speaklyに英語キーボードを含んで欲しいです。
アプリ起動時に元いたアプリに戻らない。タイプレスは戻ってくれます。

**Developer response:** As for the keyboard, we’ve been continuously optimizing it, and the latest version already includes

### 1/5 — 地球儀アイコン🌐がなくなった。

*2026-08-07*

2026/04/28 今の版では地球儀アイコン🌐がなくなって、Speakly以外の他のキーボードが選べなくなってしまって大変不便です。また、フローティングキーボードとの切り替えもできず、何しろめちゃめちゃ不便になったので、やむを得ず一旦アンインストールしました。コレはバグと言っても良いんじゃないかと思うので、急いで直してください。
2026/05/29 たいてい出るようになったんですが、まだ地球儀アイコン🌐がない時があり、そのときは臨時にアンインストールするしかないので煩雑で不便です。
2026/08/07 さらに地球儀が出る場面は増えているのですが、地球儀が出ない場面が残っていて、そのときは今でも詰んでしまいます。例えば「タップして話す」のボタンで地球儀が消えてしまって地球儀が押せない場面がまだ残っています。

**Developer response:** What phone system and OS version are you using? Is it a non–full-screen phone? We did have some compatibility issues with non–full-screen phones in earlier versions, but we’ve already fixed this in the latest version. Please update and try it again.

### 1/5 — No matter how much feedback I submit to this app, I don't think the developers even listen.

*2026-08-05*

I’ve been using Speakly ever since it was published on the App Store. I’ve used it for English, Korean, and Chinese dictation, and honestly it’s much worse than the desktop app because you can’t customize the prompt.

The most recent update added live dictation, so the text you say is instantly written down. I think this is much worse than the original method, where it processed what you were saying instead of writing it down in real time. Now it’s much less accurate.

Also, the AI polish (they say it’s “deep polish”) is in fact very incorrect. I think previous versions of this app were much better, and the most recent update is the worst update they’ve had. It’s a pity. I used to like this app.

### 1/5 — 어디에 사용해?

*2026-08-01*

사용사용할 일이 없어.이걸 켜고 뭘 어떻게 하라는 거야? 인식률은 좋네. 근데 이걸 쓸 일이 있을까? 글쎄, 모르겠네. 이런 앱이 필요한가? 인식률은 좋네. 허허허.

**Developer response:** Essentially, this is a voice AI–based IME designed for polishing text via voice input. For example, for me personally, beyond just typing, I also use it for translation—like replying to emails from overseas or messaging colleagues abroad. I can speak directly, and it translates into the target language and polishes the wording for me. I think that’s a really strong benefit.

Also, recently we’ve been building an AI Notes feature on top of it. After you speak, for instance, if you open the app during a meeting, once you finish dictating, it can translate into the target language and generate a summary of the key points. At its core, we’re using voice as the entry point to deliver efficiency-focused workflows that improve user productivity.

The above content comes from Speakly’s voice input.

### 1/5 — Misleading.

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.3*

There is no mention of in-app purchases anywhere on the page, yet once you install this, they try to lock you into a one-week free trial.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-04-19*

It's not working for all applications.

**Developer response:** Sorry, I didn’t quite catch your feedback. Could you describe it in more detail?

In our app, for the recognition result, you can swipe left and you’ll see a “feedback” option. You can fill it out there and include the issues you encountered with the result at that time, and then we’ll take a look.

### 1/5 — 改善して欲しい。

*2026-04-18*

2026/04/19 本日、またアプリが起動しない状態になりました。

以前は、なんとかアプリを開いてオンにすれば何度か使えましたが、今回はオンにしても音声を聞き取っている様子がなく、アプリ自体も起動しない状態です。早急に修正をお願いします。

ちなみに、こちらの入力はVoiceTypeを使って入力しています。

2026/04/04パソコン版のスピークリーンは、とても有益に使わせていただいています。

このアプリは、文字入力のところでspeaklyのボタンを押しても、音声入力が始まりません。一度speaklyのアプリに入り、speaklyをオンにして戻ると、タップして音声入力することができます。

文字入力を変更できるところで、アプリが自動的にオンになるようにすると、もっと良くなると思います。タップして話そうとするとアプリが落ち、音声を聞く前に強制終了してしまいます。Typeless はきちんと動作するのに、このアプリは全く使えないので入れる必要がありませんでした。Speakly より Typeless のほうがおすすめです。迷ってる人はそちらへどうぞ。

### 1/5 — iPhone使えない？

*2026-04-18*

何度試してもキーボードに反映されない

**Developer response:** I’ll follow up on your feedback. I just didn’t fully understand what the issue is.

Could you, in our software, swipe left on each recognition result to bring up a feedback option? You can describe the issue there, and we’ll handle it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work iOS 26.4 or 26.5 beta

*2026-04-16, version 1.1.0*

I installed this app on iOS 26.4 and couldn't get the keyboard to work at all. 
When I installed 26.5 beta, I still couldn't get the app to work at all. It's a great app overall on desktop, but the iOS version doesn't seem to really function.

### 1/5 — Review of app

*2026-03-31, version 1.0.4*

I just tried to use this app and I couldn’t even get it to get past the tutorial without glitching. Well, that was a waste of time.

### 1/5 — 유료

*2026-03-17*

이거 일주일만 무료고 그다음부터는 유료임. 안 쓰고 만다.

**Developer response:** Invitations will extend the usage period by one month, with unlimited use.

### 5/5 — 기존 키보드를 대체하고 싶은 생각이 있나요?

*2026-08-08*

한영자판모두 글자 작아요. 글자 키우고 진하게 해주세요. 그리고 한글 쌍자음 누르려면 길게 단자음을 누를때 쌍자음이 나오게 해주세요.

### 5/5 — This is more than just a voice input

*2026-07-06, version 1.2.4*

This is truly a magical app. Not only can it capture your voice input very accurately, but you can also use it as an AI assistant.It has a voice editing feature: after you finish dictating, you can select what you entered and edit it. I found a small trick: you can type a space, select that space, and then ask it some questions. It can actually answer your questions like an AI.

### 5/5 — this is the best voice to voice to typing keyboard

*2026-06-06, version 1.2.4*

best voice to voice to typing keyboard

### 5/5 — An excellent program; it really helps with work.

*2026-05-12, version 1.2.0*

A super cool app that really helps me with my work. I’m very satisfied and use it. I recommend it to everyone. I’m giving it only five stars because when you install it, only then will you be able to truly appreciate it.

### 5/5 — More than a voice-to-text.

*2026-04-24, version 1.1.5*

So far, this app has been great to use. It’s more than voice-to-text. The way it formats and does grammar, and then also uses AI features, it’s the only one I’ve found that will actually do more than just grammar and use some AI features to help you structure it better or do other things. I’m glad to give it a better review because recently it broke, and I haven’t been able to use it for weeks. I’m glad it’s fixed.

### 5/5 — 진짜 편한 앱

*2026-03-19*

정말 잘 인식됩니다. 제미나이나 챗 gpt, 시리 와 다른 인식률입니다. 시리나 제미나이도 이 앱을 통해 타이핑 하면 매우 정확한 확률로 타이핑 되고 음.. 어….그러니깐 등등의 단어도 자동으로 걸러주네요.

### 4/5 — Great but not free

*2026-05-14*

The app works great and picks up speech no bother, it cuts out the um's and ah's and repeated words. It's really good.
The app appears to be free as it doesn't say "In app purchases" under the install button but it's a 7 day free trial.
I didn't bother to look at the cost as I don't need to pay for voice dictation, even though it is really good, it's just not something I would justify paying for as I wouldn't use it enough.

If you're usually sending voice notes to people or send a lot of emails, this could be right up your street.
I recommend it for people who want to speed up their workflow, you could send three or four emails in the same time it takes to type one out!

### 4/5 — Unable to stop dictation on iOS 26.4

*2026-03-31, version 1.0.4*

I really was very excited about trying your app however I've noticed a bigger flaws with it on iOS 26.4 I can start dictation just fine and I can say what I want to say however I'm never able to see the results because I can‘t and the dictation even though I tapped to end the dictation like it's specifies. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong because I do wanna try this app being someone with disability who cannot type very well due to difficulties with my hands this app would be perfect for me however it doesn't seem to be working properly or maybe I'm doing something wrong any advice would be greatly appreciated

### 4/5 — 待望のiOSアプリだが、機能をデスクトップ版に合わせてほしい

*2026-03-27*

今後の期待も込めて星4つ。
Desktop版では繁体字中国語に対応しているのに、iOS版では対応していない。この差も含めて、機能差がなるなると利便性が増えます。
アップデートに期待です。★

なお、このレビューもSpeaklyを使って書きました。

### 3/5 — needs to be its own app

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.4*

I have tried a myriad of these voice keyboards, from QuillFlow to Typeless to AI Keyboard Pro. This one is really good, probably on par with Aquavoice and maybe Willow. However, I have a real problem with paying $19.99 a month for this, because 1. I can get a whole Claude subscription for that. Most of these keyboard apps are $12 or less a month.
2. you can't get it by itself. You have to subscribe to the whole plethora of apps that this thing is just one component of. I'm not interested in that, and that should have been disclosed before I ever downloaded it.
