Hold a key, talk, and your words are typed in any Mac app

Talk wherever you'd type on your Mac. Hold a key, say it, let go, and Babblekey puts your words at the cursor in any app: mail, chat, documents, your code editor or the browser. It turns speech into text on your Mac itself, with Parakeet or Whisper, so no audio is uploaded and it works offline. Add your own Anthropic key and Claude can clean it up, or write it as an email, a message or notes. For Macs with Apple silicon, $4.99 once after a 7-day free trial, with no account and no subscription.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Shaun, and I make small apps.
I made Babblekey because I wanted to talk where I'd type without a monthly subscription or my voice going to someone's server, but with the polish of the paid apps: a setup that takes a couple of minutes, an overlay that shows what it's doing, and pasting that just works.
What it does:
• Hold Right Option, or a key you pick, say what you want and let go. Your words appear at the cursor in any app.
• Speech turns into text on your Mac itself, with Parakeet or Whisper, so no audio leaves it and it works offline.
• Add your own Anthropic key and choose a mode. Clean up has Claude take out the ums, repeats and false starts and fix the punctuation, but keep your words. Email, Message and Notes write what you say as an email, a short message or bullet points. Only the text goes, straight from your Mac to Anthropic.
• A small overlay shows when it's listening, and your last 50 dictations stay on your Mac in case a paste goes astray.
It's for anyone who writes a lot on a Mac: emails, chat, docs, notes, prompts or code comments.
What's different: it's $4.99 once, with no account and no subscription, and nothing you say leaves your Mac unless you choose one of the AI modes.
It's free for 7 days on any Mac with Apple silicon, then $4.99 once, at babblekey.com.
