Talky - Hold to speak. Clean text. Auto-paste on macOS.

by•
Talky: voice-to-text for macOS (Apple Silicon). Hold a hotkey, speak, release—Whisper transcribes, an LLM cleans the text, then auto-paste (or a copy panel if nothing is focused). Local: Whisper + Ollama on-device. Cloud: Talky Cloud without huge local models. This launch is an unsigned ~108MB DMG (pre-release); Gatekeeper may warn. Freemium. For devs & writers; Chinese + English.

Hey PH — Sean here, maker of Talky. I built Talky because I was tired of switching between dictation, ChatGPT, and paste — I wanted one hotkey that just pastes clean text into Slack, Notion, or Xcode. This build is our pre-release DMG: it’s rough around the edges (unsigned), but it has the full loop — local Whisper + Ollama, plus Talky Cloud for people who don’t want to manage models. We’re shipping fast and listening to feedback. Try the hotkey flow and tell us what breaks — especially Cloud vs local, Chinese output, and paste target behavior. ⭐ Star us on GitHub if you want to follow the open-source side. Thanks for hunting with us.
