v5.3 – What’s New?

v5.0 – What’s New?

Release → February 1, 2024

SpeakLine 5.0 is a huge rewrite of the app using the latest SwiftUI features. Along that I’ve redesigned the interface to be more flexible and feels home on a modern Apple device.

Indisputably the biggest news is that SpeakLine is now available on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro. All of the help of SwiftUI’s incredible multi-platform capabilities. I’m proud to say that the iOS and visionOS apps have feature parity with the macOS app.
