## What is SpeechBee?

Speak instead of typing. Listen instead of reading.

SpeechBee turns what you say into clean text, right where you are writing, and reads any text back to you in a natural voice. Speech recognition and reading voices run on your iPhone and iPad.

VOICE TO TEXT
• Switch to the SpeechBee keyboard in Messages, Mail, Notes or any app, tap the microphone and talk
• Filler words like “um” and “uh” are removed automatically
• Say “new paragraph” or “new line” and it formats as you go
• Teach it names and terms with your personal Dictionary
• Snippets: say “my email” or “booking link” and get the full text

TEXT TO SPEECH
• Share text with SpeechBee or paste it into the Read tab
• Natural local voices, adjustable speed, pause and skip between sentences
• Listen to articles, messages and long notes while you walk, commute or rest your eyes

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your audio is never uploaded and never saved as a recording
• After a one-time model download, dictation works offline
• Text is read aloud on your device, not by a cloud voice service
• No ads

IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC
Your plan unlocks SpeechBee on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Optional private iCloud sync keeps your Dictionary and Snippets in step. Audio and transcripts are never synced.

LANGUAGES
Dictate in 99 languages and listen in 31.
