Speechify brings voice typing to all iPhone and Mac users

Speechify is rolling out voice typing to all iPhone and Mac users on Tuesday, with the feature included at no extra cost. Here are the details.

Speechify launches free voice typing for iPhone and Mac

2025 Apple Design Award winner Speechify announced today that it will no longer require a subscription for voice typing, a feature it says can help users input text at 160 words per minute on iOS and Mac.

This means that voice typing can now be accessed by the app’s entire user base with no subscription required. On the Mac, all users can now press and hold fn + space to start dictating, then press fn again to stop. On iOS, users can access the voice typing feature via Speechify’s custom keyboard.

Speechify then processes and cleans up the text, delivering a more polished version than a regular speech-to-text feature. Here’s Speechify:

The AI auto-editing layer is what separates Speechify Voice Typing from basic transcription. When someone speaks naturally, they say filler words, restart sentences, and use imprecise punctuation that reflects speech rhythm rather than written structure. Speechify’s AI layer processes the transcription in real time and delivers output that reads as written text rather than spoken text. The result is that users can dictate at the natural pace and register of spoken language and receive clean, professional output without a separate editing pass.

From productivity gains to clear accessibility use cases, Speechify’s voice typing tool has several use cases, and you can learn more about it here.

Agentic workflows coming up

Speechify tells 9to5Mac that over the next few weeks, the company will roll out a series of products and services aimed at professional users looking to bring voice deeper into their workflows.

One of these products is Speechify Voice Agents, a platform for building phone-based AI agents with memory, knowledge base grounding, tool and function calling, telephony support, webhooks, and built-in testing.

In practice, it will enable businesses to build AI agents that can handle phone calls, access company information, call APIs, take action, and retain context across conversations.

Another product coming down the line is Speechify Work, which also features agentic features, but is aimed at productivity. With support for mobile and the web, Speechify Work will act on the user’s behalf to get things done based on prompts directly on the platforms they already use at work, in their day-to-day.

Finally, Speechify will release a new generation of its SIMBA APIs, which are currently available in English and will soon support more languages, and offer features such as emotion control, zero-shot voice cloning, and more.
