The device captures speech up to about 60 cm away, buffers on‑device, and writes polished text directly into the active text field of any iOS app via a system‑wide keyboard extension, eliminating the need for app switching or clipboard copying.\n\nThe hardware measures 58 × 58 × 6 mm, runs on a 220 mAh cell rated for ten or more hours of continuous use and over two weeks of standby, and charges via USB‑C in under 1.5 hours. It supports up to five minutes of continuous input per press and works with iOS 16+ on iPhone 12 or newer. Features include Smart Polish, Smart List, Style adaptation, translation into 12 languages, a persistent dictionary, voice‑based edits and note storage. The button sells for $129 in the United States, includes a Pro Lifetime license, and ships with a 30‑day return window and a 12‑month warranty. A software‑only version of the companion app is free, allowing users to try the text‑shaping layer before buying the hardware. SpeakON plans to add an “Agent” feature that creates notes, tasks and actions on October 20, 2026.","keyPoints":["SpeakON's 25‑gram MagSafe button attaches to iPhone, has its own mic, battery and 128 MB storage, and writes AI‑polished text directly into any active field.","The device costs $129 in the United States, includes a Pro Lifetime license, and works with iOS 16+ on iPhone 12 or newer.","Features include Smart Polish, Smart List, Style adaptation, 12‑language translation, Dictionary, Voice Edits and Notes, with up to 5 minutes of continuous input per press."],"whyItMatters":"The button lets professionals generate clean, formatted text without switching apps or granting continuous mic permissions, speeding up communication and reducing editing effort for marketers, founders and field workers.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["SpeakON","MarkTechPost AI Media Inc."],"models":[],"people":["Asif Razzaq"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-23T03:10:22Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-23T04:50:40Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"MarkTechPost","title":"SpeakON Ships a MagSafe AI Voice Button With Its Own Microphone: Turning Your Voice into Polished Communication, and Action across Apps","url":"https://marktechpost.com/2026/09/22/speakon-ships-a-magsafe-ai-voice-button-with-its-own-microphone","publishedAt":"2026-09-23T03:10:22Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"MarkTechPost","title":"SpeakON Ships a MagSafe AI Voice Button With Its Own Microphone","url":"https://marktechpost.com/2026/09/22/speakon-ships-a-magsafe-ai-voice-button","publishedAt":"2026-09-23T04:50:40Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"SpeakON releases $129 MagSafe AI voice button for iPhone\", 23 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/speakon-releases-129-magsafe-ai-voice-button-for-iphone","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"SpeakON releases $129 MagSafe AI voice button for iPhone","datePublished":"2026-09-23T03:10:22Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/speakon-releases-129-magsafe-ai-voice-button-for-iphone"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
