What's New in Talkie

5.0.1

September 3, 2026

This is the biggest Talkie update so far. AI CALL ASSISTANT (PRO) Make a phone call without speaking. Tell Talkie who you are calling and why, and it handles the conversation. Listen in live, steer it, or type exactly what should be said. Afterwards you get a transcript with a summary, and you can save the appointment straight into Reminders. READ ALONG LIVE Share a six-digit code and the person you are talking to reads along in real time on their own screen. New: voice messages inside the conversation, and video alongside it. REBUILT SOUNDBOARD • Place tiles anywhere in the grid, and choose your own number of columns. • Single words automatically become a flowing sentence. • ARASAAC pictograms, image search on the web, and one tile generator for everything. • A folder can now be a board of its own. • Full-screen boards, and a movable toolbar on tablet. • Discover ready-made boards from others and share your own. REMINDERS REBUILT Search with filters, calendar items at the top, photos, a location that taps through to your maps app, repeating patterns, and notifications that keep nudging until you tick them off. New: voice memos, and asking a question about your own reminders. APPLE WATCH AND WIDGET A full Watch app with your tiles, your history and recording from your wrist. Scroll with the crown, open a tile full screen, and turn your wrist so the other person can read along. Plus a widget for your reminders. RECORDING AND TRANSCRIPTION Recordings with no time limit for conversations and meetings, with transcription (PRO). Speech recognition moved to Google STT and OpenAI Whisper. ALSO NEW • Live camera mode and PDF read-aloud. • LED banner with styles, effects and dot-matrix. • Stories in a new full-screen view, with a cover photo and automatic read-aloud. • Short explainer clips on the screens where you need them. FIXED Reminders fired an hour off around daylight saving time. Also: tile drag and drop, the camera view, voice persistence, notifications from deleted reminders, and dozens of smaller improvements to controls and accessibility. Questions or an idea?

User reviews

Amazing free app to easily convert text to speech

Thanks, great app! Nice play button and clear button to speak things quickly. There doesn’t seem to be any adds or things I need to pay for.

Will update if anything changes.

Lots of options for voices!

There is a whole lot of variety with the voices and languages. I do like that. However, I don’t know how to save the speech to my device. It is very confusing, that or I’m dumb lol. Overall, looks pretty good.

Apple Watch

Don’t actually work with the Apple Watch only shows a black screen when you open it on the watch. I use text to speech to talk it be nice if the app worked on the watch as well. Since I often forget or lose my phone. There is an expensive one I read about, but who has 120 bucks to spend on a talking app?

Response from developer

Unfortunately was the Apple Watch feature not a success. Maybe in the feature when Apple give access to the Scribble. This will be amazing when we could use Scribble on the Apple Watch for Talkie.

Apple Watch bug

I love the idea and I want to be able to use this on my Apple Watch! But when I get into the app the screen goes black and nothing happens..
