SpeakType: Voice to Text
Speech to text notes & memos
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your voice into text notes in real time. Private on-device dictation — no account, no cloud. Speak, edit, organize and share.
SpeakType turns your voice into text in real time. Tap the microphone and watch your words become an editable note as you speak — perfect for capturing ideas hands-free, writing long-form notes without typing, and saving thoughts before they slip away. It is a fast, private voice to text app with no account, no subscription and no cloud: your notes stay on your device.
Typing on a phone is slow. Speaking is up to three times faster, and SpeakType is built around that simple idea. Whether you are driving, walking, cooking or just thinking out loud, you can dictate a note in seconds and clean it up later.
Most voice to text apps send your audio to a server and hide the good parts behind a subscription. SpeakType is different: it uses your device's own speech recognition, so your dictation is fast, works offline where supported, and stays completely private. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay — just open the app and start speaking.
