Voice to text, everywhere on your Mac
Say the whole thought.
Land clean text wherever you're working.
Hold a key, speak, release — cleaned-up text lands in ChatGPT, Slack, Mail, or whatever window is focused. Your allowance is counted in dictations, not words: one take is one dictation, however many words you put in it, false starts and all.

The pixel HUD
A strip of light that only says what's true.
TalkTalkType lives in your menu bar as pixel art — four states, no ambient animation, no mystery. What you see is exactly what your voice is doing.
01
Listening
The mountains rise with your actual mic input, so you always know it's hearing you.
02
Working
Transcription and cleanup in progress on the cloud — no ambiguous spinner.
03
Delivered
Clean text sweeps into place, then the HUD gets out of your way.
04
Attention
If something needs you, a clear broken-line signal — never a silent failure.
How it works
Three steps, no new window to learn.
Sign in once
Google OAuth runs in your browser. The Mac app keeps its token in the Keychain and stays signed in.
Hold a key and speak
Recording respects your plan's length limit. Cloud transcription cleans up the words as you said them.
It lands
The result types itself into whatever field you're in — or waits on the clipboard if you'd rather place it yourself.

People who stopped retyping their thoughts.
“I dictate into ChatGPT all day. TalkTalkType is the first dictation tool where I don't retype the sentence afterward — it lands the way I said it.”
高橋 美咲Support team lead · Pro plan“The pixel HUD is the first listening indicator I've actually trusted. It moves when I move.”
Jonas T.Technical writer“Hold, speak, done. That's the whole product, and that's exactly why I use it.”
Priya K.Indie founder“Thirty free dictations a week was plenty to try it. I upgraded when my team noticed my reply speed.”

What we keep, and what we don't.
The service keeps what your account and your allowance need in order to work. The audio you speak, and the text it turns into, are not part of that.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is TalkTalkType?
A voice to text app for Mac that lives in the menu bar. Hold ⌥Space, speak, release — and cleaned-up text lands in whatever app you were working in. There is no new editor window to learn, and your allowance is counted in dictations rather than words.
Is my voice or my text stored?
No. Audio goes to the speech provider for transcription only, and TalkTalkType does not store audio or transcript text by default. Your sign-in token stays in the Mac Keychain. Full details on the Privacy page.
Which apps can I type into?
Anywhere you can type — ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, Mail, browser forms, Notes, and more. By default the result types itself into the focused field; or it can wait on your clipboard.
How much can I dictate on the free plan?
30 dictations a week and a 15-minute voice-time pool, recordings up to 60 seconds each, on unlimited Macs. We count dictations, not words — say as much as you like in each one. Whichever allowance runs out first ends the week; unused allowances don't roll over, they reset every week. See every plan on the Pricing page.
Do you count words?
No. TalkTalkType counts dictations, not words, so there is no per-word limit — a take is one dictation whether you say five words or two hundred, false starts included. What bounds a take is its length: 60 seconds on Free and Plus, 2 minutes on Pro and Max.
