Speak Spanish.
It types Spanish.

Tap the bubble floating over whatever app you're in, say your sentence in Spanish, and it appears in the field that already had your cursor — accents, punctuation and all. No keyboard to switch to, and no switching back.

The important part

It transcribes. It does not translate.

Speakline writes down what you said, in the language you said it. Speak Spanish and Spanish is what lands in the field. There is no setting that turns your Spanish into English on the way there, and none that turns your English into Spanish.

One Spanish setting, not one per country — there is no separate Mexican, Argentine or Castilian option to choose between.

Auto mode

Spanish is one of the ten it handles.

If you move between Spanish and English inside a single sentence, Auto mode is built for it, and Spanish is one of the ten languages it covers — with English, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Dutch. Leave the language on Auto and you don't have to pick a side before you start talking.

Slack

La demo es mañana a las tres, ya subí el deck.

One sentence, either language, one tap.

Text styles

All four styles apply here.

Spanish is written in the Latin alphabet, so unlike Urdu, Hindi or Arabic, the four text styles do work: Clean leaves your sentence exactly as dictated, Formal closes it with a full stop, Casual drops the one on the end, and Excited finishes on an exclamation mark. None of them rewrites your words — only the mark at the end — and a question stays a question in every style.

Questions

Asked about Spanish, specifically.

Which Spanish does it expect?

There is one Spanish setting rather than a list of regional variants, so there is no Mexican, Argentine or Castilian option to pick between.

Does it handle switching between Spanish and English?

Yes. Set the language to Auto and Spanish is one of the ten languages that mode covers, so a sentence that moves between Spanish and English doesn't need you to choose one in advance.

Do the text styles work in Spanish?

Yes. Spanish is written in the Latin alphabet, so all four styles apply — Clean, Formal, Casual and Excited. They only change the mark a sentence ends on; none of them rewrites your words.

Does Spanish dictation work offline?

No. Speakline transcribes in the cloud and needs a connection every time you speak, in Spanish as in every other language. It doesn't fall back to your phone's built-in recogniser.
