Building an On-Device Ecosystem · Part 1 of 4

SpeechBeat is a teleprompter built for natural dictation workflows.

Processing real-time audio locally on the iPhone ensures the dictation loop keeps up with the creator’s pace.

🎙️ Stay in flow. Move through the script and record takes at your own cadence.
⏱️ Instant feedback. The dictation loop captures and processes audio immediately.
✈️ Offline ready. Works with Airplane Mode on for a real on-device proof.

The full dictation loop runs on the iPhone.

Part 2 will document how this technical reality dictated the entire product positioning.
