## What is Voice to Text?

Every recording becomes a searchable note, an AI summary, and a list of action items — ready to share, translate, or export as SRT/VTT subtitles. Speechy follows your meetings, interviews, classes, podcasts, and customer calls on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Transcription runs on device with Apple's speech recognition, so your audio stays private by default. From a single recording you get an editable transcript with speaker labels, a structured summary, bilingual translation, and SRT/VTT subtitles.

Why people use Speechy:
• Real-time dictation and transcription on iPhone
• Import audio and video files to transcribe old recordings
• Copy the full transcript or selected sections when you need them elsewhere
• Speaker labels for meetings, interviews, and podcasts
• Subtitle mode with SRT / VTT export
• AI summary templates for meetings, interviews, medical (SOAP), legal, lectures, and 1-on-1s
• Action items with one-tap send to Calendar — dates in your transcript become real events
• Face ID or passcode lock for the whole app or individual notes
• Bilingual translation and read aloud for original or translated text
• Full-text search, tags, edited transcript, playback sync, and easy sharing

More ways to capture and work:
• Start recording from Apple Watch and continue on iPhone
• Use widgets, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island for faster access and status
• Send content from other apps with Share, Translate, and Read Aloud extensions
• Extract article text from web links and reopen notes from Spotlight

Advanced AI and control:
• Works with Apple Intelligence, local MLX models, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and custom OpenAI-compatible APIs
• Download and manage local MLX or Hugging Face models
• Use AI memory, tools, and MCP servers for deeper note workflows
• Supports on-device speech recognition, on-device translation, and on-device speaker analysis
• Fine-tune recognition with custom vocabulary, VAD, auto punctuation, emoji conversion, and sensitive-word filtering

Great for:
• Meeting notes and project recaps
• Interviews, research, and customer calls
• Lectures, study notes, and podcasts
• Bilingual work, subtitles, and content creation

Get started in 3 steps:
1. Record, import a file, or start from Apple Watch
2. Review the transcript, summary, action items, speakers, and translation
3. Search, share, export subtitles, or ask AI to go deeper

### 5/5 — V to txt Speechy

*2026-06-07, version 4.3.7*

Good

### 5/5 — Jesus

*2026-05-25, version 4.3.5*

Loves you

### 1/5 — Not working, don't download

*2026-01-06, version 3.22.0*

I downloaded this app to try it out because I have been looking for a speech to text app. I tried it and nothing happened. Later I tried again. Whenever I said something, no text showed up. This doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Beware of this app because I got porn on it as soon as I started using it.

*2026-01-01, version 3.22.0*

I tried to use the app and it immediately gave me porn photos.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2025-11-01, version 3.22.0*

It would take me far less time just to type out what I want. One must speak extremely deliberately and then correct a third of what it prints afterwards. That is if you can get the editing to work at all. Also, very much not user-friendly controls. Siri is infinitely better.

### 1/5 — 毎回アプリ再起動必要

*2025-10-10*

800円/月のPRO版購入したが
リアルタイム文字起こしすると　一度しかできず　
もう一度しようとすると　反応しなくなり　アプリ再起動すると　また一度だけ使える

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけしており、誠に申し訳ございません。リアルタイム文字起こしが一度しか利用できず、アプリの再起動が必要になる問題については、最新版で改善を行っております。

お手数ですが、アプリを最新バージョンにアップデートのうえ、再度お試しください。引き続き問題が発生する場合は、サポートまでご連絡ください。状況を確認し、改善に努めてまいります。

### 5/5 — Dieses Diktierprogramm funktioniert gut

*2025-05-17*

Dieses Programm scheint sich wirklich zu lohnen, auch wenn ich bisher erst drei Abende damit diktiert habe

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-04-15, version 3.22.0*

Worked great for a couple of weeks… then NOT. Thought it was because I had to upgrade beyond Speechy Lite. So paid for subscription. STILL doesn’t work. It’s a SCAM. Don’t use. Btw Speechy… refund my $7+ for subscription or I will report you to the FTC.

### 1/5 — だめ

*2025-03-26*

精度低すぎて使えない

### 1/5 — 文字起こしできない

*2025-03-24, version 3.22.0*

全く使えない　2500円返して欲しい
