A Letter to Mac Users

Why Fast Talk exists.

Back in 2024, voice dictation took an unexpected leap forward. On-device models became genuinely fast, and suddenly speaking to your Mac felt like having a tireless stenographer sitting at your keyboard.

Then the pricing models arrived. Almost every promising voice utility pivoted into an endless $15 to $20 recurring monthly subscription. And with subscriptions came a cold reality: the day you stop paying, you lose access to your own software.

Even worse, software companies decided that every word you spoke—every client email, every medical note, every confidential business brainstorm—should be streamed up to third-party cloud servers to be processed and logged.

We built Fast Talk on an older, more honest principle: You pay once, and it is yours for as long as you want.

Fast Talk runs quiet, private models directly on your Mac. It launches in 0.15 seconds, uses virtually zero memory, leaves no messy temporary files, and works completely offline. Your recordings never leave your machine, and your meeting notes mirror into plain Markdown files in a folder you control.

Software should be a durable tool you own, not a monthly lease. We dictate with Fast Talk every day. We hope you will too.

so um look basically what I think we should do is We should ship the staging build before Thursday noon so the team has a clean 24 hours to test.

02 / Structure

Structures longer notes.

Rambling streams of consciousness become structured documents. Formats meeting thoughts into clean Markdown headers, bullet points, and prioritized action items.

Fast Talk was designed with a specific human in mind. If your needs belong elsewhere, we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Category 01

When built-in Apple Dictation is enough

If you only dictate a short text message once a week, do not mind manually fixing punctuation, and never need filler words stripped out, macOS's free built-in tool is completely sufficient.

Included free with every Mac
Zero software installation
✕ No smart cleanup or filler removal

Category 02

When you need a corporate meeting bot

If your primary goal is inviting an automated bot into 10-person video conferences to record video feeds, track company attendance, and broadcast transcripts to team inboxes, choose a cloud service.
