A native menu bar dictation app for macOS. CursorTalk runs fully on-device, supports multilingual dictation, and inserts text where your cursor already is.
Hey Product Hunt,
I built CursorTalk because Apple Dictation never felt good enough for real work, and most alternatives turned voice input into another monthly subscription.
CursorTalk is a native menu bar dictation app for macOS that runs fully on-device, stays private, and lets you start dictation from anywhere with one shortcut. When you stop speaking, it inserts the text directly into the app you’re already using.
What makes CursorTalk different:
• fully optimized on-device experience
• works across Mac apps
• multilingual dictation
• simple lifetime pricing instead of another subscription
It started as a tool for myself, then became something I kept using every day for AI chats, writing, coding, and quick notes.
If you tried CursorTalk today, what would you use it for most?
AI chats, writing, coding, notes, or something else?
