Product context
What SpeechBee says it does
Official or maker-supplied product information. It is kept separate from buyer evidence and independent purchase verification.
SpeechBee is a Mac menu-bar app for typing by voice and listening to text.
Hold your shortcut, talk, and let go. The words appear where your cursor is, in Mail, Slack, Notes, a browser or anything else you can type in. Filler-word removal works in 61 languages. Spoken commands such as "new paragraph" format as you go. You can teach it names it mishears, and save snippets so "my email" turns into your full address.
Select text and press your reading key, and a natural voice reads it aloud. You can pause, change speed and pick a voice.
Speech recognition and reading voices run on the device. The speech model downloads once, then dictation works offline. Audio is never uploaded and recordings are not kept. The default model understands 25 languages; an optional Whisper model covers up to 99 on Mac. SpeechBee uses Sign in with Apple for account access.
On iPhone and iPad, SpeechBee is a keyboard you switch to, plus a Read tab for listening. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Requirements: an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or newer) with macOS 14 or later.
Pricing: free for 7 days, then $9 a month, $79 a year, or $99 once. Every plan has every feature. The lifetime purchase bought on speechbee.app has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
