Summary
TalkText is an AI-powered dictation tool for macOS and the web that turns natural speech into polished, professional writing.

About TalkText
The tool works through a system-wide keyboard shortcut (Option + Space on Mac), making it accessible across any application, from Slack and Microsoft Word to VS Code and Google Docs, and it also runs as a web app for note taking, transcription and meeting summaries without installing the desktop app. A Restyle feature lets users select existing text and issue a voice command to rewrite it in a different tone, such as more confident or friendly, and one recording can become a polished email, a bullet summary or an action-item list.
TalkText supports more than 30 languages and lets users write at around 150 words per minute compared with average typing speeds. Audio is processed in real time and deleted immediately after transcription, never stored or used for model training. It offers a free tier with 1,000 words per month and a Pro plan at $6.50 per month billed annually. Note: the product is now sold as RambleFix, formerly TalkText.
