SpeakUp Dictation vs SpeechBee

SpeakUp turns your voice into text — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No subscription. No AI rewriting. Your words, exactly as you said them. Hold a button, speak, and your words appear in any app — Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, or anywhere else you type. SpeakUp installs a custom keyboard with a dedicated mic button that works everywhere. HOW IT WORKS SpeakUp runs an open-source AI speech recognition model directly on Apple's Neural Engine via CoreML. Your voice is transcribed on your device in seconds. Nothing is sent to the internet. Nothing is stored. Nothing is shared. Tap the mic button on the SpeakUp keyboard, speak into the app, and your transcribed text appears right where you were typing. It's that simple. WHAT YOU GET - Custom keyboard with mic button — works in every app - 100% on-device transcription on the Neural Engine - 9 European languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian - Works completely offline — no internet required - Automatic punctuation and smart formatting - Free, no subscription, no account, no word limits WHY NOT APPLE DICTATION? Apple Dictation sends some audio to Apple's servers for processing. It only works in system apps. And for many languages and accents, it simply gets words wrong. SpeakUp runs a dedicated AI model on your device. It works in every app via a custom keyboard. And it actually understands accented English and European languages — because that's what it was built for. WHY NOT WISPR FLOW? Wispr Flow costs $15/month and sends every word you speak to their cloud servers. They also rewrite what you say with AI — you don't get your own words back. SpeakUp is free, runs 100% on your device, and transcribes your words faithfully. No paraphrasing. No cloud. No subscription. ALSO ON MAC SpeakUp for Mac (€29 one-time) gives you the same on-device dictation everywhere on macOS — system-wide hotkey, custom domain Lexicons (medical, software, legal), and longer recording sessions.

SpeechBee turns your spoken words into clean text and puts it where you are writing. It removes filler words such as “um” and “uh,” learns names through your personal Dictionary, and expands spoken Snippets into saved text such as email addresses and links. When you would rather listen, share selected text with SpeechBee and hear it read aloud with a natural local voice. Listen to articles, messages, and other long passages while commuting, walking, or getting things done. SpeechBee works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with local dictation in up to 99 languages. Dictation and Read Aloud require a SpeechBee subscription or lifetime in-app purchase after any available free trial. 1) WRITE WITH YOUR VOICE Use the Voice key on the SpeechBee keyboard while writing in Messages, Mail, Notes, and other apps. 2) CLEAN UP WHAT YOU SAY • Removes filler words automatically • Learns names and specialist terms through your personal Dictionary • Expands spoken Snippets into email addresses, links, and longer saved text • Supports spoken formatting commands 3) LISTEN INSTEAD OF READ Share selected text with SpeechBee to hear it with a local voice. Pause, change speed, or move between sentences. It is a simple way to listen to articles or long messages when reading is inconvenient. 4) PRIVATE BY DESIGN SpeechBee does not send microphone audio to a cloud transcription service. Read Aloud does not send selected text to a SpeechBee voice service. Microphone audio stays in memory and is not saved as a recording. Optional recent transcripts stay on your device. 5) WORKS ACROSS DEVICES If you enable iCloud sync, Dictionary corrections and Snippets sync through your private iCloud account. Audio, transcripts, and recent history are not included.
