TalkTastic’s patent-pending technology interprets what you're saying based on what it sees on your computer screen.

The LLM understands the tone, style, and substance of your conversation while accurately spelling people's names and easily-confused words.

Speakmac
Speakmac is a private, on-device voice typing app that lets users talk instead of type in any application. Hold or trigger the dictation shortcut, speak naturally, and the app transcribes locally, placing text into the active window in under half a second without sending audio to the cloud. Speakmac automatically handles commas, periods, capitalization, and other grammar details, so casual speech arrives as clean, readable text. It is designed to work anywhere there is a blinking cursor, including browsers, editors, chat apps, documents, email, AI tools, and productivity software. The app supports more than 100 languages and adapts to different accents, with examples including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Finnish, and many others. Speakmac runs as a lightweight native background application rather than an Electron or web wrapper, keeping memory use low and the experience responsive.

FluidVoice
FluidVoice is a free, open source macOS dictation app that pairs local speech recognition with Fluid-1, an on-device AI model for polishing dictation. One hotkey lets users speak into any text field across email, documents, chat, terminals, code editors, and other apps, with text appearing in near real time. Local speech models keep dictation on-device and work offline, while optional AI post-processing can use Fluid Intelligence, OpenAI, Groq, or custom providers. Fluid-1 cleans up rough dictation, fixes formatting, capitalization, dates, names, and numbers, and adapts tone to the active app without changing the speaker’s meaning. Users can create custom prompts for different apps, while Write Mode, Command Mode, and Direct Dictation make it easy to switch contexts. FluidVoice supports more than 40 languages across models including Nemotron Speech 3.5, Parakeet Flash, Parakeet TDT v2 and v3, Cohere Transcribe, Apple Speech, and Whisper.

Spokenly
Spokenly is an AI-powered dictation app for Mac, iPhone, Windows, and Linux that turns speech into clean, punctuated text wherever you work. Hold a shortcut, speak naturally, and release to place the transcription directly at the cursor in browsers, email, chat, word processors, IDEs, terminals, and other apps. It supports more than 100 languages, including mixed-language dictation, and offers both local and cloud speech-to-text models. Whisper, Parakeet, and other on-device models can run completely offline, while cloud engines from providers such as OpenAI, Deepgram, Groq, Soniox, and ElevenLabs can be used for higher-accuracy or real-time transcription. Local Only Mode blocks network requests so voice data stays on the device. Modes let users save different transcription models, AI providers, prompts, and output styles for specific tasks, while AI Instructions can remove filler words, fix grammar and punctuation, summarize, rewrite, translate, or reformat dictated text.
