Released by Genspark (US) in January 2026, Speakly is an AI dictation tool built around voice input. Just speak into your microphone and the text lands in almost any app with a text field. What separates it from plain speech recognition is the post-processing: the AI removes fillers such as “um” and “uh” along with false starts, adds punctuation, and hands you text that actually reads well. You can register custom instructions per use case and rewrite existing text with voice commands, which makes it less a keyboard replacement than a working environment for writing by speaking.
Key Features
- AI auto-polish: The AI cleans up fillers, restarts, and run-on sentences, then adds punctuation before outputting the text. No editing pass over a raw transcript required
- Three input modes: A dictation mode that records while you hold a key, a hands-free mode you toggle on and keep talking, and an Agent mode that invokes Genspark’s research capabilities
- Voice commands on selected text: Select text on screen and say something like “make this more formal” or “translate this into English” to rewrite, translate, or reformat it in place
- Custom instructions with hotkeys: Register output rules for contexts such as email, Slack, or meeting minutes, and assign a hotkey to each so you can switch tone per task
- Personal dictionary: Register up to 8,000 proper nouns and technical terms to cut down on misrecognized company names, product names, and personal names
- Meeting notes and live translation: Meeting Notes records conversations and produces transcripts with speaker labels plus summaries, while live translation provides real-time subtitles in 15+ languages. Audio and video file import for transcription is also supported
- 100+ languages: Automatic language detection handles sentences that mix multiple languages. Available on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- What you say comes out as readable prose, so almost no cleanup is needed afterward
- Works in essentially any app with a text field ─ email, chat, documents, code editors
- Supports 100+ languages and handles speech that mixes, for example, Japanese and English
- The free plan’s 4,000 words per week is enough to find out whether it fits your workflow
- The personal dictionary and custom instructions mean fewer misrecognitions and less editing the more you use it
⚠️ Cons
- The free plan’s weekly 4,000-word cap runs out quickly if you write long-form text daily
- Agent mode and meeting notes are credit-based, so even paid plans don’t make them unlimited
- Being voice-driven, it is awkward to use around other people or during a meeting
- Because the AI reshapes your words, phrasing can shift from what you intended, so a visual check is still needed
- It ties you to a Genspark account and ecosystem, which is more than some people want from a standalone tool

Who Is It For
- People who speak faster than they type and would rather dictate email and chat drafts
- Anyone writing long notes, drafts, or minutes daily who loses time cleaning up transcripts
- People who frequently mix two languages in speech and want to skip manual language switching
- Existing Genspark users who want research and dictation in one environment
- Anyone looking to reduce strain on hands and shoulders, or working in situations where typing is difficult
Summary
Speakly puts its effort less into raw recognition accuracy than into the post-processing that turns spoken language into readable text. Filler removal, custom instructions, and the personal dictionary all point in the same direction: less editing after the fact. The free plan gives you 4,000 words a week, so the practical test is to dictate the emails and notes you already write and see whether your editing load actually drops. If you plan to lean on Agent mode and meeting notes, factor in a Genspark subscription and its credit consumption.
