Let your voice make writing accessible. Dictate notes, drafts, messages, and replies with less physical effort than typing.
Spiel is a private, on-device speech-to-text app designed for people with motor or cognitive disabilities and anyone who finds keyboard typing physically difficult, painful, or impractical. It can automatically place dictated text into other apps, reducing reliance on a physical keyboard.
HOW IT WORKS
1) Select a text field in any app.
2) Start dictation with the Fn key or your configured hotkey, then speak.
3) Use the same control to stop and automatically insert text into the app you're using.
WRITE THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY
Use Spiel for anything you need help writing:
- Messages and replies
- Notes and memos
- Email drafts
- Documents and outlines
- Planning and brainstorming
- Research
- To do list or tasks
- Blog posts
- AI prompts
- Follow-ups and updates
- Articles or journal entries
- Audio file transcription
- Brainstorming
