Speech to text with punctuation that actually lands

Raw transcription hears words, not sentences. Punctuation is a writing decision, and writing decisions need a writer, or an AI doing the writing.

Hey Maya, I can't make Saturday dinner, work blew up. Really sorry. Can we do next week instead?

Tap a style. Same thought, a different landing.

Why speech to text struggles with punctuation

You do not speak punctuation, you imply it: with pauses, pitch and phrasing. Classic speech engines transcribe phonemes, so unless you dictate the marks yourself, they guess, or skip them. That is why transcripts read like one endless breath.

The workaround everyone hates

Every built-in tool accepts spoken punctuation: "Dear Sam comma new paragraph thanks for the update period". It works, and it makes you sound like a robot reading a telegram. It also does nothing about structure: where paragraphs break, what deserves a bullet list, which sentence should come first.

Let the AI do the writing

Speechy sends your audio through a transcription model and then through a language model whose whole job is the writing: punctuation, capitalization, paragraphs, lists when you clearly meant a list, and tone. You ramble; it returns the sendable version into whatever app you are using, on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.

Why Speechy

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.

The message, not the transcript

Most voice apps stop at words on a page. Speechy gives you the message: the right tone, length and language, ready to send.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Which speech to text has automatic punctuation?

Most modern engines attempt commas and periods. Full formatting, paragraphs, lists, tone, comes from an LLM layer on top, which is exactly what Speechy adds.

Do I have to say comma and period out loud?

Not with Speechy. Talk naturally; punctuation and structure are placed for you. Spoken commands like "new paragraph" still work if you like them.
