Talk to me, I'll type.
Voice typing that never leaves your Mac.
Hold two keys, talk, let go. Your words appear in any app, about three times faster than typing. Talk2me turns speech into text on your Mac's own chip, so your voice goes to no server: not ours, not anyone's.
Free in beta, then $10 a year. No card. Mac with Apple silicon.

Why privacy first
The biggest worry about AI isn't speed. It's your data.
Your voice is the most personal data you type with. It carries your words, the sound of you, and the names of your clients, patients and sources. Most AI dictation apps send it to a server to turn it into text. Talk2me does that work on your Mac instead.
Where your voice goes
Most voice apps send every word away. Talk2me keeps it home.
A typical cloud dictation app
- Your voice
- The internet
- Their servers
- Text back
- Is a copy kept? For how long?
- Can staff or contractors listen?
- Is it used to train their AI?
- Does it stop when you're offline?
Talk2me
- Your voice
- Your Mac's chip
- Text at your cursor
- No copy anywhere but your Mac
- Nobody to listen: we never receive it
- Never used to train AI
- Works on a plane, with no Wi-Fi
Cloud apps differ: some let you turn training off, some keep no copies. Ask each one the four questions on the left. How to check any dictation app
Proof, not promises
Don't take our word for it. Check.
Turn off Wi-Fi
Then dictate. It still works, because nothing needs a server. (After the one-time voice model download.)
Look for the sign-up
There is none. No account, no user ID, no password to leak. Nothing ties your words to you.
Flip Strict privacy
One switch in Settings keeps every step on your Mac, including the optional text cleanup.

How it works
Hold. Talk. Let go.
No new app to learn. One shortcut, in every app you already use.
- ⌃control⌥option
Hold two keys. From any app.
Talk like you talk. Pause, think, carry on. Up to 10 minutes at a time.
Let go. Your words land at your cursor, already punctuated.
Fast
About three times faster than typing.
The average person types about 52 words a minute. Most people talk two to three times faster than that. Talk2me turns the difference into time you get back. Try your own numbers:
Your estimate
6 h back each week
You type about 6,240 words a day. Saying them takes 48 minutes instead of 2 hours.
About 288 hours a year, over 48 work weeks.
An estimate. Typing speed: average of 168,960 typists, Dhakal and others, CHI 2018. Stanford researchers found speech about 3 times faster than typing on a phone. More on voice typing productivity
Every app
Email, Slack, documents, your code editor, AI chats. If you can type there, you can talk there.
Numbers as digits
"Twenty five" becomes 25. Dates, amounts and times come out the way you would type them.
Your words, your spelling
A personal dictionary spells client names, drug names and jargon your way.
Clean text
Optional cleanup removes the "ums" and fixes punctuation, on your Mac if you prefer.
State-of-the-art models
Whisper Large v3 Turbo on Macs with 16 GB of memory, sized down below that. Cohere Transcribe is one click away.
Safe updates
Every update is signed and checked. Nothing installs until you say so.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Is it really private?
Yes. With a voice model on your Mac (the default), your audio becomes text on your computer and never leaves it. Talk2me has no account and collects nothing about you. If you choose a cloud engine instead, your audio goes straight from your Mac to that provider, with your own key, and Settings tags the route "100% private", "Private · ZDR" or "Not private". One switch, Strict privacy, keeps every step on your Mac.
Do you train AI on my voice?
Never. We never receive your voice or your words, so we can't train on them, and we never will. Not with your consent, not anonymized, not later.
Does it need the internet?
Only to download the app and, once, the voice model. After that, dictation works with no internet at all. Talk2me checks once a day for a signed update file; that request carries nothing about you.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 15 or later. The app is about 150 MB to download, plus the voice model picked for your Mac (about 0.5 to 1.6 GB, once). Windows and Linux are next: join the list and we'll email you.
How accurate is it?
Talk2me runs state-of-the-art speech models on your Mac. It starts on Whisper, sized to your Mac: Large v3 Turbo with 16 GB of memory or more, Small below that. A small starter voice lets you dictate while it downloads. With 16 GB or more, Settings > Voice also offers Cohere Transcribe on the GPU. A personal dictionary spells your names and jargon your way.
Why is it invite-only?
We are a small team in Montréal. The beta is small so we can listen closely and fix things fast. Join the list and we'll send your invite as spots open. Your email is used for that and nothing else.
Why switch from Wispr Flow?
By Wispr Flow's own documentation: your voice is always transcribed in the cloud, model training on your dictation is on by default for Free and Pro, and Context Awareness reads on-screen text by default. Talk2me keeps your voice on your Mac, never trains on it, and costs $10 a year. See the full comparison, with sources.
What happens to my email?
We keep it in our own database, only to send your invite, and never share or sell it. Remove it yourself, any time:
Your voice. Your Mac. Nobody else.
Join the free beta. We'll email your invite when a spot opens. No newsletter, no sharing.
