A bubble floats over whatever app you're in. Tap it, talk, and clean punctuated text lands in the field you were already looking at — messages, email, docs, search bars, anything with a cursor.

The tour
The bubble, a sentence spoken out loud, and the text landing in the app that was already open. Sound on — there's a soundtrack.
40 seconds · sound on Recorded on a phone, at the speed it actually runs.
Why bother
Thumbs manage about forty words a minute. Speech runs roughly four times that, and doesn't need you looking down. The replies you put off because typing them was the chore get answered on the walk to the car.
The two rates are commonly reported averages, and describe people in general rather than any one person.
Where it works
Speakline isn't a keyboard you switch to and back from. It's a bubble over the app you're already in, and the text goes into the field that already has your cursor. Tap any app to see a sentence land in it.
And every other app with a text field — these twelve are just the ones that fit on a row.
If a field won't accept typed text, Speakline copies the words to your clipboard instead and tells you so — the dictation is never lost.
Text style
The same sentence wants different punctuation in a work email and a text to a friend. Pick a register once and every dictation follows it. Type below — these are the real rules, running on your words.
Nothing here rewrites your words — only the punctuation at the end of a sentence. A question stays a question in every style.
Languages
Pick the language you speak once in Settings and every dictation follows it. There's also an Auto mode for anyone who switches languages mid-sentence.
Speakline transcribes. It does not translate — speak Urdu and Urdu is what lands in the field.
Yours to set
Everything you dictate is kept in History — the words, the app they went to, and how long you spoke — so you can find that message you sent last Tuesday and copy it again.
Privacy
Transcription runs in the cloud. Your speech is streamed to our transcription provider, turned into text, and is not stored there. What's kept is the text, in your history, where you can see it and delete it.
Speakline uses Android's accessibility service for one job: putting text into the field you're focused on. It reads nothing else and sends nothing anywhere.
Being honest about the trade: Speakline needs an internet connection. There is no offline mode, and it does not use your phone's built-in speech recogniser — the accuracy and the punctuation are the reason, and they come from the cloud engine.
What it costs
Every feature is unlocked from the first word you speak. The trial gives you 120 minutes of dictation over seven days, and asks for no payment details to start.
Pro is priced in your own currency and shown in full in the app before you agree to anything. Annual works out cheaper per month than monthly, and the app says so rather than quoting the smaller number on its own.
Setting up
Three of them let Speakline listen, float and type. The fourth is optional. Onboarding asks for all four in one place, so there's nothing to hunt for later.
Without Accessibility, dictation still runs and every result goes to your clipboard instead. That's a fallback, not a feature.
Questions
No. Speakline transcribes in the cloud and needs a connection every time you speak. It doesn't fall back to your phone's built-in recogniser, because that recogniser is what makes dictation feel unreliable in the first place.
No, and that's the point. You don't switch input methods and switch back. The bubble floats over whatever app you're in and the text goes into the field that already has your cursor.
To put text into the focused field — that one job. It's how an app can type into another app's text box on Android. Speakline reads nothing else from your screen and sends nothing anywhere.
No. Speakline transcribes. Speak Urdu and Urdu lands in the field. Auto mode handles switching languages mid-sentence, but it still writes what you said, in the language you said it.
There are none. Audio streams straight to the transcription provider and is discarded once the words come back. What's kept is the text, in your history, which you can delete line by line or all at once.
You drop to 15 free minutes a calendar month. Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked behind an upsell screen — dictation simply stops once the allowance is spent, until the month rolls over or you subscribe.
Not yet. Speakline is Android only today. The bubble depends on Android's overlay and accessibility services, which have no direct equivalent on iOS.
