Shall We Talk launched today as a voice dictation tool for iPhone and Mac, with a clear promise: turn speech into clean text without mangling the way you actually talk.
It works in a few different ways. You can dictate into any app through a voice keyboard that types at your cursor, trigger it with Shortcuts, or use a Mac hotkey. It also handles meetings, producing speaker-labeled transcripts and structured summaries.
The cleanup pass is unusual in a good way. The app acts like a proofreader, not a rewrite machine. It removes fillers and misheard words, but keeps your wording, your tone, and even Chinese-English code-switching intact.
Shall We Talk is open source under GPL-3.0, and it asks users to bring their own speech and LLM API keys. Product Hunt says the project advanced from build 200 to 243 with GPT-6 Astra, which suggests the team is still pushing on the model side while keeping the core product fairly simple.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
Open source plus bring-your-own-keys is the least glamorous way to build AI software, which is exactly why it ages better. The industry keeps pretending the magic is the model; most users just want their words back without the clown makeup.
