TalkText

TalkText is an AI-powered speech-to-text dictation tool for individuals who want to write faster by speaking naturally and pasting polished text into any app or website.

Key capabilities include:

• Smart dictation cleanup that removes filler words (like “ums” and “ers”), fixes mistakes, and keeps the speaker’s natural voice and phrasing.
• Works across applications on macOS, using a keyboard shortcut to dictate directly into email, chat, docs, IDEs, and browser fields.
• 30+ language support with automatic capitalization and punctuation for more readable output.
• Restyle rewrites that can rewrite selected text on request to match a tone (for example, more professional, confident, or friendly).

Pricing: Freemium. Free tier includes 1,000 to 2,000 words/month (site lists 1,000). Paid plans: $10/month unlimited, or $6.50/month billed annually ($78/year). Separate iOS pricing may apply (weekly $7.99 or yearly $59.99).

Notable for its privacy stance, audio is processed in real time with no audio storage and no use of user data for model training, plus it supports dictation “everywhere” rather than only inside a dedicated editor.
