More than transcription, it frames the message.
Speak or type the messy version, and Speechy hands back the sendable one: the right tone, structure and context, in whatever app you're already in.
Framing, not transcription
Most voice apps stop at words on a page. Speechy gives you the message: the right tone, structure and context, ready to send.
Voice or messy text in
Speak it or type it. Either way you skip the part where you decide how to phrase it, and go straight to a sendable draft.
Native everywhere you think
macOS, Windows, iPhone and Android, including a real framing keyboard on mobile. Capture the thought wherever it happens.
Frames you can reuse and share
Turn the messages you dread into one-tap structures. Save your own, and (soon) share the best ones with everyone else.
Good questions, straight answers.
Is Speechy a good Voibe alternative?
Yes. Speechy does the core job Voibe does, AI dictation that turns speech into clean, formatted text, and adds the things Voibe doesn't: a real native Android app and voice keyboard, a bring-your-own-key free tier, and one identical formatting engine across macOS, Windows, iPhone and Android.
Is Speechy cheaper than Voibe?
For most people, dramatically. Voibe is $149 with no bring-your-own-key option. Speechy has a genuinely free tier to start, then Pro at $12/mo (or $96/yr) for unlimited use across all four platforms.
Can I move from Voibe to Speechy easily?
There's nothing to migrate, dictation has no library to export. Install Speechy on every device you type on, hold the hotkey (or tap the mic on mobile), and your words land formatted in whatever app you're already using.
