WalkAITalkie turns a spoken thought into a draft you can work with. Start a recording from a keyboard shortcut, speak, then check the transcript. Clean can help with punctuation, grammar and filler words. Raw leaves the initial transcript as it is. The direct app includes local dictation and cleanup for free. Pro adds formats, translation and summaries from microphone recordings with a one-time purchase. The app requires macOS 26 and Apple Silicon. Local processing works after the models have been downloaded; optional cloud models use your own API key and need a separate opt-in. There are two distribution channels. The direct app can paste into the active text field with Accessibility permission. The Mac App Store app copies the result to the clipboard. Their versions and purchases can differ, so the website explains them separately. The before-and-after on the site is an illustrative example. It keeps the uncertainty in the original thought. The app's output still needs a read-through, especially names, decisions and anything you plan to send. What kind of text would you want to dictate first: a message, a note or a prompt?
