About

Hi! Some days my hands didn't want to type. And when I had a lot to say, like long messages, notes or prompts for AI, typing was the slow part. So I built Speaklively: hold the fn key, talk, and your words appear as you speak, in any Mac app. It runs on your Mac, works offline, and it's free. I run Takeoff Digi Labs, a small studio in India that builds AI tools and apps. Speaklively is one of our own products, and the one I use every day. On Product Hunt I try Mac tools and AI apps and give honest feedback. If you've made something people type into or talk to, I'd love to try it. I dictated this whole bio with Speaklively.

Speaklively - Voice typing for Mac that shows every word as you talk

Speaklively is free voice-to-text for Mac. Hold fn and talk, and every word appears in a small panel while you're still speaking, so you're never guessing what it heard. Let go, and the text lands wherever your cursor is, in any app: email, Slack, notes, ChatGPT, Claude. Your voice never leaves your Mac. It works offline and needs no account. No word limit. Optional AI cleanup when you want it. The fastest writer in the room doesn't type. They talk.
