SpeakRun for iPhone and iPad

Support

Last updated: July 28, 2026

SpeakRun turns reading aloud into a quick challenge with live word matching, scores, custom passages, and an optional performance video.

Check App Permissions

Open Settings → Apps → SpeakRun to review access:

• Camera provides the front-camera preview and performance video.
• Microphone records your voice and enables speech recognition.
• Speech Recognition follows the passage as you read.
• Photos is requested only when you save a result video.

Speech Recognition Is Unavailable or Misses Words

• Confirm Microphone and Speech Recognition access are enabled.
• Move to a quieter place and speak clearly at a steady pace.
• Make sure another app is not actively using the microphone.
• Try again after checking your internet connection. SpeakRun requests on-device recognition when available, but Apple’s speech service can depend on device, language, and service availability.

No Performance Video Appears

Scoring can finish even when camera recording is unavailable. Confirm Camera and Microphone access, make sure the front camera is available, and try another run. The red microphone indicator shows when recording is active.

Save to Photos Does Not Work

SpeakRun requests add-only Photos access when you choose Save to Photos. Review Photos access in Settings and make sure the device has enough free storage.

Create a Custom Passage

You can type a passage, select a photo, or take a photo for on-device text recognition. A custom passage must contain between 3 and 48 words so it fits the reading and result-video layouts.

Delete Local Data

On SpeakRun’s home screen, open Privacy & Data, then choose Delete all local SpeakRun data. This removes custom passages, scores, streaks, and temporary recordings. Videos already saved to Photos must be removed separately in the Photos app.

Privacy

SpeakRun has no account, ads, or third-party analytics. Read the complete SpeakRun Privacy Policy.
