SpeakON has launched a 25 g magnetic AI voice button that snaps to the back of an iPhone and writes finished text directly into active applications. The hardware device aims to solve the output gap in voice dictation by providing its own microphone, a 220 mAh battery rated for over ten hours of continuous use, and 128 MB of onboard storage for offline capture. Measuring 58 by 58 by 6 mm, the device connects via a system-wide iOS keyboard extension to output processed text straight into tools like Messages, Mail, Slack, and Notion without requiring app switching.
The built-in microphone allows the device to operate independently of the iPhone system microphone, preventing resource conflicts with calls or CarPlay and eliminating the need for continuous background mic permissions. SpeakON processes speech through a text-shaping software layer that includes smart polishing to remove fillers, list detection for structured notes, style adaptation based on the destination app, and translation across twelve languages. The companion app also features a persistent dictionary to handle proper nouns and jargon, alongside a notes storage system for offline captures and voice-based editing capabilities.
Priced at $129 with no recurring fees, the device is available in five colorways in the United States and ships with a USB-C cable and magnetic ring. SpeakON maintains strict privacy standards with encrypted voice data, no AI training usage, and compliance with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR regulations. This hardware and software integration offers professionals a streamlined way to bypass traditional phone typing and manage voice input efficiently.
