Just speak. UltraTalk types.
One hotkey turns your voice into polished text in any app on your Mac. Misspoke? Say “scratch that” and it fixes itself. No internet, no account, nothing leaves your device.

You think faster than you type.
Every time you stop to type, you lose the thought. Built-in dictation is slow and unreliable. Cloud tools send your words to someone else’s server. You shouldn’t have to choose between speed and privacy.

Features
It doesn’t just hear you. It gets what you meant.
01 · Inline repair
Say “scratch that.” It’s gone.
Correct yourself out loud, the way you already do. UltraTalk deletes the false start and keeps the version you meant. No cursor, no backspace, no editing pass.
You said
“Let’s meet at 10pm tomorrow… scratch that, 11pm tomorrow.”
UltraTalk typed
DeliveredLet’s meet at 11pm tomorrow.
02 · Polish
You ramble. It writes.
Filler words dropped, punctuation restored, capitalization handled. What lands in your doc reads like you typed it carefully, at the speed you talk.
Raw speech
um,sobasicallyweuh,shouldshipitonfridayithink
Polished
We should ship it on Friday, I think.
03 · Dictionary
It knows your words.
Teach UltraTalk the names, products, and jargon that generic dictation mangles. Add a word once and it comes out right every time, in every app.
Your dictionary

UltraTalk typed
Ask Priya if kubectl access is set up before the Sorane demo.
Not “Pria”. Not “cube control”. Not “Serana”.
04 · Engines
Two engines. Your call.
Whisper for accuracy, Parakeet for raw speed, both running on your Mac’s GPU. Pick a profile or let Balanced decide. Thirty seconds of audio lands in about two.
