Home Screen widgets

Speechy ships three widget sizes. Small is a one-tap record button. Medium adds a preview of your three most recent notes. Large shows a quick-record button plus up to five recent notes and a total count.

Live Activity and Dynamic Island

While you're recording, Speechy pins a Live Activity to the Lock Screen and updates the Dynamic Island every second with elapsed time and a short transcript preview. When you stop, it shows the final duration before collapsing.

Siri and Shortcuts

Three ready-made shortcuts come built in: Start recording with Speechy, Search Speechy notes, and Open my most recent note. Use them from Siri, the Shortcuts app, or any automation you build.

Share-sheet shortcuts

From any app, the share sheet offers three quick ways to send content to Speechy: Speechy Transcribe for audio and video files, Speechy Translate for text and web pages, and Speechy Read Aloud. Pick one and Speechy opens with your content ready to go.
