Typing is the bottleneck. SpeakON removes it. A MagSafe AI device for iPhone — press once to speak into any app. No mic permission. No switching. Even works with your phone locked. Zero friction.
Can it work offline, or does it require a constant internet connection?

@sachin_madhukar Hi Sachin! Currently, an internet connection is required. This ensures our AI can provide the highest quality polishing and structuring for your text in real-time.

very interesting product, whats the battery life look like?
SpeakON
@jameson_buckley It has a 180mAh battery inside that supports over 10 hours of continuous use. Personally, I only find myself charging it once a week.
SpeakON
@jameson_buckley @danielwayne I'd like to correct that here: we are now using a 220 mAh battery, so a one-week standby time is absolutely no problem.

Cool Idea, but couldn't apple/android just make this obsolete with one software update?
SpeakON
@talwesingh Great question — the simple way to think about it:
Even if Apple or Android make voice input much better with software,
it’s still hard for them to solve the “trigger moment.”
Today’s software flow is still:
open input → switch to voice → start speaking
That small friction adds up.
What we’re really building with SpeakON isn’t just voice input — it’s:
👉 turning input into a subconscious action
A physical button changes the behavior:
no thinking, no mode switching
just: think → press → speak
That feels very different in real life — especially when you’re walking, carrying things, or right after a meeting when thoughts are fresh.
Also, system-level solutions are often limited by permissions, background constraints, and inconsistent behavior across apps.
We can make the experience more stable and predictable.
So we don’t really see ourselves competing with system dictation.
It’s more like building a new interface layer:
👉 making expression faster and more natural
Even if the system gets better, this layer still matters.

@rockzhang Okay sure, I can see the haptic part as a differentiator. But e.g. on the new iphones you can set the button (the one that used to be the mute button) to any functionality you like.
SpeakON
@talwesingh Yeah totally — the new Action Button gets pretty close, and for a lot of people it’s a solid setup.
Where we see the difference is in a few details that add up over time:
Position & ergonomics
The side button still requires a bit of intention (reach, grip change).
A back button is more “where your finger already is” — it becomes almost reflexive.
Consistency across devices
Not everyone has the newer iPhones, and button mappings can vary.
We wanted something that works the same way, every time.
Dedicated interaction
With hardware, we can design the whole experience around that one action —
press-to-talk, feedback, timing — instead of piggybacking on a general-purpose button.
No context dependency
Shortcuts can still behave differently depending on lock state, app state, etc.
We try to make it feel identical no matter what you’re doing.
You’re right though — the gap is smaller than it used to be.
We’re just pushing toward that last bit of:
👉 it feels like a reflex, not a feature
@talwesingh @rockzhang I share your optimism, Ryan, but the new action button on the iPhones is a great, built-in way to do exactly what your product is doing + they surely will have their foundational models up to speed soon, so it will even work without internet access.
I understand why you created your product, but Apple has the action button exactly for this use case there.

@jyotsna_singh3 Hi Jyotsna! Great question. SpeakON works with any app that supports a keyboard. Essentially, if you can type in it, you can use SpeakON. Think of it as a seamless voice-powered keyboard for your entire device!
SpeakON
@kenyarmosh That’s a great setup — the Action Button + Shortcut is probably the closest software-only version of this today.
The difference we’re going after is removing even the remaining friction:
no need to unlock / be in the right state
no dependency on a specific iPhone model or button mapping
more consistent behavior across apps
and a more instant, muscle-memory interaction (press anywhere on the back, not a side button)
It’s a small delta on paper, but in high-frequency use, it compounds a lot.
If your current flow already feels seamless, that’s awesome —
we’re just trying to push it one step further toward “no thinking at all.”
SpeakON
@kenyarmosh That’s a fair point.
Quick question — can your Action Button actually be integrated with a voice input method end-to-end? And realistically, how many users would go through the effort of setting up that kind of Shortcut flow?
That’s where we see the difference. SpeakON works out of the box: press, speak, and the text goes straight into your current input field, consistently across apps, without any setup.
@rockzhang @kenyarmosh Ken, you are exactly right, this is solved via Apple Action Button already.
SpeakON
@serglotz The user experience is completely different from Apple's Action Button. It wouldn't be very useful for me to over-explain it here.
If you are interested, please contact me and I can send you a sample to try out our product.
SpeakON
@kenyarmosh The consistency of this experience is on a completely different level.
If you're interested, please feel free to contact me. I can also send you one of our samples for testing.
Cool. I wanted to build a similar AI app where you could use voice to perform actions in other apps, like calling a taxi. But I ended up running into the fact that iOS prohibits this.
SpeakON
@mykyta_semenov_ It’s a challenge! Apple’s security layers are tough to navigate, especially when I think they're pushing Siri for actions. However, we're working on a workaround using cloud APIs and MCP. By moving the 'handshake' to the cloud, we can trigger actions like calling a ride without needing deep system access.
@danielwayne The API is the only legal way, but many apps simply won’t provide it for this purpose. Because then users would make purchases outside the app, on third-party platforms. Amazon has already banned it.
Most likely, in upcoming updates, some kind of native AI from Apple will appear, and it will only be possible to do this through it.
I've tried SpeakOn and it's soo good for typing long emails on Gmail on my Iphone. It's been a huge time saver during business travel, as typing on my phone is just too slow.
SpeakON
@marc_moller1 That’s great to hear — and honestly, that’s one of the exact scenarios we had in mind.
Long emails on mobile are painful. You either slow down to type, or you put it off.
Being able to just speak it out — especially while traveling, between meetings, or on the move — changes that completely. By the time you’re done, the email is basically ready.
Really appreciate you sharing this. This is exactly the kind of workflow shift we’re hoping to enable.
