Built for the moments
where words matter.

SpeechKey is a realtime translation app for iPhone and Apple Watch. You bring your own AI provider keys, your audio goes straight to the engine you chose, and nothing sits on a server in between.

01 · The story

Why SpeechKey exists

SpeechKey started from a simple frustration: every good translation app quietly routed your conversations through its own servers and marked up the AI on top. For travel, for meetings, for the moments where every word matters, that's exactly backwards — you shouldn't have to wonder where your voice is being stored, or pay a hidden premium on every minute.

So SpeechKey was built the other way around. Connect the AI provider you already trust with your own key, and pay that provider directly — at cost, no markup. Your audio and text go straight from your device to the engine you chose over an encrypted connection: no SpeechKey server in the path, no account, no analytics, no tracking. The app is a simple, one-time purchase — 9,99 € once. That's the only thing you pay us.
