Messages
The default texting app is the one everybody has and nobody thinks about — which is exactly where a faster way to write pays off most often. Tap the bubble, say it, and it's in the conversation.
Messages
A question stays a question — no style turns that mark into a full stop.
Why here
Texts get written in the worst possible conditions: in a queue, carrying shopping, halfway out of the car. That's where autocorrect does the most damage and where a sentence most often arrives without the punctuation that would have made it clear. Speaking it takes one hand and two seconds.
Every phone already has a microphone key on its keyboard. Speakline is for people who found that one unreliable enough to stop trusting it.
How it gets there
Speakline isn't an input method, so it never appears in the keyboard picker and you never switch to it and back. The bubble floats above Messages and the text goes into the box that already has your cursor. If that box refuses typed text, the words go to your clipboard instead and Speakline tells you so.
Questions
Speakline transcribes in the cloud rather than on the phone, and deliberately doesn't fall back to the built-in recogniser. It also punctuates and capitalises for you, and it isn't a keyboard, so there's nothing to switch to and back from.
Yes. Speakline types into whichever text field has your cursor, so how the message is eventually sent makes no difference to it.
No. Speakline puts the text in the box and stops. You read it and press send yourself.
Yes, every time you speak. Transcription runs in the cloud, so dictation doesn't work offline — that's a deliberate trade for accuracy rather than an oversight.
Also
Messages is one example, not a supported-apps list. The same bubble works in WhatsApp, Gmail, Slack, Google Docs and Notion. The main page has a 40-second tour.
