📌

Talktastic is exactly that — a fantastic app that makes it easy to naturally dictate to your Mac but goes above and beyond conventional dictation by interpolating your meaning based on the context of the app you're using or the people you're talking to! That is, say you're writing an email to your investors in Superhuman — you'll want to sound one way (professional, upbeat, optimistic) whereas if you're hanging out in Github comments and making an argument for a feature change, you'll want to sound balanced, rigorous, and also not like a jerk. Talktastic adjusts the content it generates based on whatever you dictate, but goes one step beyond anything else that's out there. You've got to try it to understand!

@chrismessina This sounds like a very interesting concept, Talktastic! The ability to contextually adjust dictated text based on the application or recipient is innovative. I have a couple of questions: - Can users define their own preferred writing styles for specific contexts, or does Talktastic rely solely on pre-programmed settings? - How does Talktastic ensure the accuracy of the rewritten text while maintaining user control over the final content? As a developer, I'm curious about the technical aspects behind the contextual adjustments. If those align with my expertise (e.g., natural language processing, machine learning), I might be able to contribute to future development. Overall, Talktastic seems like a powerful tool for improving dictation workflows. I'd love to learn more about how it can help streamline communication!

@chrismessina @max_savonin1 TalkTastic is responsive to your context in a way that other applications aren't. For example, we built OASIS AI, and you'd have to choose different writing styles and apply these filters. But it was kind of the same for everybody. With TalkTastic, there's no static writing style. It's not just some predefined styles. It's completely contextual to you and your environment and what you're trying to do. We really try to keep your authentic voice and then use the AI to fit it in the context, if that makes sense. I recommend you take it for a spin and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your feedback.

@chrismessina @max_savonin1 Hi Max, to answer your questions, 1. We don't yet have the ability to adjust the dials on the context as of yet, but it's definitely on the roadmap. However, the good news is that with our context snapshot set to on, TalkTastic can understand your general writing style within the environment in which you are communicating. 2. Our speech recognition is best-in-class in terms of performance and accuracy. The core of our beta testing hypotheses are around this very question: how to make the context feature meet the needs of users wherever they are speaking? To that end, we offer a few versions of rewrites plus a direct transcription within the current product. Users can select which version to use, adding some signal. Ultimately we envision some more proactive controls for users. I can connect you with the team who can talk more about the technical aspects and future points of collaboration if you contact me here: stephanie@talkastic.com.

@kjosephabraham Thanks, Joseph! We have a lot on the roadmap. In the near term, we're adding features like history, custom shortcuts, and an even cleaner interface. Medium term, we're looking at introducing a Chrome extension and business tier with end-to-end encryption. Exciting times ahead!

This looks really useful! Does it support multiple languages or just English for now?

@memphys_sk Thanks for your comment! TalkTastic is primarily designed for English. However, we've discovered that the AI does contextual auto-translation. It translates any spoken languages into English or other target language, based on your context. It's not fully reliable yet, and frankly, I'm stunned that it works at all. Feel free to give it a try and let me know how it works for you. I'm very curious to hear about your experience!

I started using Oasis AI the day it came out (tweeted about it here: https://twitter.com/packyM/statu...) and it's been an incredible way to catch those random thoughts that I have throughout the day and begin to turn them into something more substantial. Amazing work.

Have been an early user of this product - literally made a version via Zapier before discovering Oasis which solves my use case 10x better. Love turning my rambling ideas into organized thoughts and see so much potential here. Stoked to see it launch to public access.

I recently checked out TalkTastic, and it's impressive. The ability to just speak and get accurate text is incredibly freeing. For someone who types a lot, this is a game changer. The product is fast, stable, and well-integrated into the OS. It's more than just a dictation tool—it's a real productivity booster. The way it transcripts and uses context to get the tone and style right is fantastic.
