Dial8 - Speak naturally. Write perfectly. Listen effortlessly.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We launched Dial8's first version, focusing on speech-to-text, and the response was incredible. Today, we're excited to introduce v2 with text-to-speech. Why we built this: I needed a tool that could keep pace with my thought process and workflow. Whether I'm brainstorming ideas, coding, or consuming content, I want something that just works without friction. What's new in v2: Realistic text-to-speech: Listen to any text with natural-sounding voices Smart summarization: Highlight text from Claude, Cursor, or any article and get an instant spoken summary Flexible playback: Word-for-word reading at your preferred speed, or condensed summaries AI rewriting: Transform your casual speech into professional, concise, or any tone you need What makes Dial8 different: Everything runs locally on your Mac—no cloud, no privacy concerns, just instant results. It has become essential to my daily workflow, and I can't work without it. My mission is to make Dial8 the go-to productivity tool on every MacBook, and I plan to add support for as many languages as possible. I'd love your feedback: What features would make this indispensable for your workflow? What are we missing? Let me know what you love and what needs work—we're here all day to chat and improve! 🚀
