About

Speech Board

Read full description

Speech Board is a keyboard that types what you say. Talk naturally in any app and get clean, punctuated text, without the ums and repeats. TYPE OR TALK, ONE KEYBOARD A full typing keyboard with voice built in. Tap the mic in Messages, Mail, Notes or any other app, and your words appear right where you're typing. No copy and paste. CLEAN TEXT, NOT A TRANSCRIPT Filler words go, punctuation comes in, and what you meant stays. Dictate in 100 languages. SPEAK ONE LANGUAGE, SEND ANOTHER Talk in your own language and send the message in another one. AI TOOLS IN ONE TAP Summarize, fix grammar, make it shorter, more professional or friendlier, pull out the key points, or edit your text by voice. You can build your own tools too. YOUR WORDS, SPELLED RIGHT Add names, brands and jargon to your Vocabulary, and Speech Board spells them the way you do. THE RIGHT TONE IN EVERY APP Casual in chats, formal in email, or a writing style of your own. NEVER LOSE A WORD Everything you dictate is kept in History on your iPhone, so a lost draft is one tap away. FREE AND PRO The free plan includes 2,000 dictated words every week. Speech Board Pro removes that limit, uses our most accurate transcription model and gives AI tools and translation much more room. Speech Board Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and it renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY To turn your voice into text, Speech Board sends your recordings and text to third-party AI services, which process them in the United States. We don't keep them on our servers. Voice input needs Full Access for the keyboard; typing works without it.
