Native Swift for macOS · Dictation, Rewriting & Bot-Free Meeting Notes

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.

Re: Q4 macOS Launch Timeline

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.

You We capture mic and system audio directly on-device—no awkward recorder bot in Zoom.

Why speak instead of type

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.

QWERTY Keyboard
45 wpm average

Constant backspacing, translating between languages in your head, manual Markdown formatting, and losing your train of thought mid-sentence.

220 wpm natural speech

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.

Built for the way macOS actually works

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.

Select & Speak Rewrite

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.

Selected in your editor “Look, we can't ship the migration on Friday because the schema tests are still flaky and we need to verify the backup restore path first.”
Replaced at your cursor in 0.7s
“Let’s hold Friday’s migration until Monday morning so we can lock down the flaky schema tests and run a full backup-restore rehearsal first.”
Fast Notch Hardware Integration

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.

Complete Capability Architecture

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.

Hold Key → Audio Pre-Warm → Release → Speculative Stream → Injected at Cursor (< 0.9s)

2. Fast Notch Hardware Bar

Expands organically from the MacBook camera housing for live waveforms, timers, quick transcript copy, and one-tap meeting capture.

● Fast Notch Active 22 States

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.

You (Mic) “Let's keep the SQLite library local and mirror to Markdown.”
Others (System Audio) “Agreed—that way Obsidian and Cursor can index every meeting.”

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.

Selected text + Voice prompt → Rewritten 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.

⌘1 · Clean Prose ⌘2 · Code Comment ⌘3 · Bullet Brief

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.

Spoken: “Yarın sabah release gate testlerini koşup staging'e merge edelim.” ✓

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.

Key Release → Text Pasted 0.65s – 1.10s

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.

Crafted for macOS, not ported from a browser

Why native Swift feels different from the very first keypress.
