Talk into your Mac. It writes like you do.
Hold your shortcut and speak in any app. Switch between English and Turkish mid-sentence, clean up rambling thoughts on the fly, and turn back-to-back calls into structured notes—without a bot ever joining the room.
Hi Alex,
Let's move the design sign-off to Wednesday at 10:00 AM so the engineering team has a full day to polish the notch animations before Thursday's beta cut.
- Ship Markdown mirror with YAML frontmatter
- Enable 60-second Calendar heads-up in Fast Notch
Your brain thinks at 220 words a minute. Your fingers are stuck at 45.
Typing forces you to compress ideas, hunt for punctuation, and fix typos as you go. Fast Talk lets you speak out loud in full paragraphs—removing false starts and pasting clean text right where your cursor is waiting.
Constant backspacing, translating between languages in your head, manual Markdown formatting, and losing your train of thought mid-sentence.
Hold your shortcut, talk naturally—even if you hesitate or change your mind mid-sentence—and release. Formatted prose lands at your cursor in under a second.
Edit selected text by voice. Live inside the MacBook notch.
Fast Talk isn't another chat window you have to copy and paste from. It lives invisibly in your cursor and inside the physical silhouette of your MacBook Pro camera housing.
Highlight any paragraph. Tell it how to change.
Select text in Mail, Linear, Notion, or Xcode, hold your shortcut, and give a spoken instruction. Fast Talk rewrites the selection in place without touching the rest of your clipboard.
Dead bezel space becomes your ambient command bar.
On notched MacBooks, Fast Talk anchors right inside the top camera cutout—giving you a non-intrusive heads-up 60 seconds before a calendar call, live acoustic waveforms, and instant transcript history.
Eighteen capabilities. One cohesive macOS instrument.
Every detail—from speculative streaming while you hold the key to byte-for-byte clipboard restoration and local Markdown mirroring—is engineered natively in Swift.
1. Universal Hold-to-Talk & Direct Cursor Injection
Hold your chosen shortcut (`fn`, `Right ⌘`, or custom chord) in Slack, Cursor, Xcode, Mail, or any text field. Fast Talk injects polished text straight into the focused `AXUIElement` without stealing window focus.
2. Fast Notch Hardware Bar
Expands organically from the MacBook camera housing for live waveforms, timers, quick transcript copy, and one-tap meeting capture.
3. Bot-Free Meeting Notes (You + Others)
Records your microphone and macOS system audio simultaneously on-device. Separates `You` from `Others` across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Slack Huddles without inviting a creepy recorder bot.
4. Select & Speak In-Place Rewrite
Highlight any text on your Mac, hold your shortcut, and speak an edit command—like “make this more direct”, “fix grammar”, or “summarize in 3 bullets”. The selection updates right in place.
5. Context-Aware Modes
Create custom modes for Email, Code & PRs, Slack, or Executive Notes—each with its own formatting instructions, tone, and dedicated keyboard shortcut.
6. Personal Memory & Vocabulary
Fix a misspelled name, acronym, or repo term once after dictating and Fast Talk remembers it forever—automatically biasing future transcriptions toward your vocabulary.
7. Live Local Markdown Mirror
Every meeting note and voice memo automatically syncs to a local folder of plain `.md` files with structured YAML frontmatter—ready for Obsidian, Raycast, or Claude Code.

8. Calendar EventKit Heads-Up
Reads your native macOS Calendar schedule locally and slides a subtle prompt out of the notch 60 seconds before your meeting starts, pre-filling title and attendees.
9. Media Queue & Batch Import
Drag and drop `.mp3`, `.wav`, `.m4a`, or `.mov` files—or paste media links—into the Media Queue for background transcription with progress tracking and retry controls.
10. Instant Web Link Sharing
Publish any meeting note or voice memo to a clean, read-only web link in one click so teammates can read the summary without installing anything. Revoke access anytime.
11. Mid-Sentence Multilingual Switching
Speak Turkish and English (or 90+ languages) in the exact same sentence without flipping a language toggle. Technical terms stay in English while conversational context flows naturally.
12. Sub-Second Speculative Streaming
Audio capture pre-warms the instant your finger touches the shortcut and streams chunks while you speak—so by the time you release the key, final polished text arrives in under a second.
13. Zero-Sweep Clipboard Guard
Snapshots every `NSPasteboardItem`—images, files, rich text, and custom types—before fallback paste and restores your clipboard byte-for-byte immediately afterward.
14. AirPods & Bluetooth Route Guard
Prevents macOS Bluetooth profile stalls and seamlessly falls back to the built-in MacBook microphone if your AirPods disconnect mid-dictation—never losing a syllable.
15. Crash-Proof Audio Recovery
Streams audio directly to disk during capture. Even if your Mac loses power during a 60-minute call, Fast Talk salvages and transcribes the recording automatically on next launch.
16. Encrypted iCloud Sync
Syncs your notes, Modes, and Personal Memory across your studio Mac and MacBook with client-side AES-GCM encryption via CloudKit.
17. Smart Filler & Self-Correction
Strips dead air, “um”, “uh”, and mid-sentence course corrections automatically—so when you say “Tuesday—no, Wednesday”, only “Wednesday” is written.
18. Pure Swift & Local SQLite
Built entirely with Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit `NSPanel`. Instant full-text search across thousands of recordings on your own SSD with zero Electron bloat.
Why native Swift feels different from the very first keypress.
