Local dictation with whisper.cpp. AI Quick Fix for selected text. Smart clipboard history. Tone polish. The three Raycast Pro features you actually use — one price, forever.
Whisper.cpp runs entirely on your Mac. Press ⌥⇧D, speak naturally, and your words appear in any app. No internet required. Private.
Highlight any text, press ⌥⇧D, and it's polished. Fix spelling and grammar, or rewrite in Formal, Friendly, Email, or Bullet style. Like Raycast's Quick Fix — but yours forever.
Raw dictation → formal, friendly, email, or bullet points. Uses Groq cloud (bring your own free API key) or local oMLX for privacy.
Full clipboard history with search. Source filtering (dictation vs copied). AES-256 encrypted storage. Auto-blocks API keys and tokens.
Press ⌥⇧D from any app. Start speaking. Press again to stop. Text lands on your clipboard. Customizable hotkey with persistence.
Subtle audio feedback — pop when recording starts, chime when transcription is ready. Know what's happening without looking.
Encrypted clipboard storage. Blocks API keys, tokens, and credit cards from history. No telemetry. No account required.

TalkBoard uses OpenAI's whisper.cpp running locally on your Mac. Your voice is processed on-device — nothing leaves your computer. Works with any M-series Mac.
Dictation works 100% offline. Tone polish requires internet (Groq API, free tier). But Raw mode needs nothing.
All clipboard history is AES-256 encrypted on disk using your Mac's secure Keychain. API keys, tokens, and credit card numbers are automatically blocked from being stored.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Best performance on Apple Silicon (M1-M5) with Metal GPU acceleration. Intel Macs also supported.
