For lawyers
The dictation app for lawyers on iPhone
You speak the file note, the email to your client or a first draft, and after you stop the cleaned-up text is in the field right away. On iPhone, iPad and Mac. Server in Germany, recognition only on EU servers, DPA in text form.
Dear Mr. Kaya, as discussed, I will send you the documents by um, Thursday, no, Friday
ToMr. Kaya
SubjectDocuments by Friday
Dear Mr. Kaya, as discussed, I will send you the documents by Friday.
Three situations from the working day
A file note after the meeting
You dictate in the corridor what was discussed. You paste the text where it belongs. The original stays in your history next to the cleaned-up version, in case you want to check later what exactly was said.
An email to your client
“Dear Mr. Kaya, as discussed, I will send you the documents by Friday.” You speak the email instead of typing it on a small display. SpeechDone adapts to the app you are writing in. You check names and file numbers yourself before you send.
A draft on the move
On the train you think of the outline for a brief. You speak it into the keyboard instead of trying to remember it, and refine it at your desk. You rewrite selected text by voice when the tone is not right yet (Pro).
What happens after the client meeting
The meeting is over, you are outside the courthouse or on your way back to the office, and everything that mattered is still fresh: what the client said, what you agreed, which deadline now runs. There is no calm for the file note right now, and by evening half of it is gone.
With SpeechDone you speak the note right away. You may correct yourself and throw in a “no, wait”. SpeechDone cleans up as you pause, and after you stop the text is there, with punctuation and without the ums.
What SpeechDone does for that
The text is there while you speak
You see the text as you speak. After you stop, the finished text is in the field right away (median 0 ms after the stop, measured on October 13, 2026).
Two recognizers check each other
Deepgram transcribes live, Mistral (Voxtral) recognizes the recording section by section once more, and that text is inserted. If Mistral does not answer in time, the text comes from Deepgram.
In every app, on iPhone, iPad and Mac
On iPhone and iPad the SpeechDone dictation keyboard works in every app. There is also a widget, a Live Activity and the Share menu. On the Mac you hold the fn key and speak, and the text lands where your cursor is (macOS 15 or later). Your history lives in your iCloud.
Dictionary for names and technical terms
You add client names, courts and technical terms to the dictionary once, and SpeechDone pays attention to the spelling. Text snippets for phrases you use often sit next to it. Both are the same on all your devices (with sign-in).
Rewrite, translate, ask
In the keyboard you translate text, ask questions and rewrite selected text by voice (Pro).
Your dictation never stops at the limit
Above the weekly limit SpeechDone keeps writing, just without the cleanup. The original stays in your history next to the cleaned-up version.
What SpeechDone is not
SpeechDone is a dictation app, not law firm software. It does not manage files, deadlines or billing. The text lands where your cursor is, and you decide what to keep.
Privacy: what happens to your dictation
You are bound by professional secrecy, and client data falls under your duty of confidentiality. So here is where your dictation goes, without gloss.
Our server runs at Hetzner in Germany. Speech recognition runs only on EU servers: Deepgram (Deepgram, Inc., USA, processing on EU servers) transcribes live, and Mistral AI (Paris) recognizes the recording once more, section by section. Both hear the same recording, and one of the two providers is a US company. Neither uses your recordings for training: we opt out with Deepgram on every request, and with Mistral it is switched off in our account.
Your recording is not stored on our server. It is only processed in memory during recognition. We keep the recognized result in a cache for up to 24 hours so that an interrupted connection is not processed twice, and delete it afterwards. By default the app keeps your history in your own iCloud.
Recognition and text processing always run in the EU. There is no switch to servers in the US, and SpeechDone does not fall back there when something is down.
You conclude the data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR with us in text form: view the DPA. There is also a confidentiality undertaking under Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB). Lawyers are bound by professional secrecy; the undertaking covers us as a person assisting in your work (Section 203 (4) StGB). Every service provider that processes data is listed on the subprocessor page.
Whether that is enough for your practice is your decision. This is not legal advice: check it with your bar association. More on the technical side in the guide to dictation apps and GDPR.
