"Um, so like, I was thinking we should, uh, you know, maybe move the meeting to... wait no, not Tuesday, Wednesday. Yeah, Wednesday works better."
"Let's move the meeting to Wednesday."
"OK so basically, the thing is, uh, the client wants the report by Friday, and I think, well actually, we need to also include the Q4 numbers, not just Q3, because they specifically asked about year-over-year growth..."
"The client needs the report by Friday. Include both Q3 and Q4 numbers — they want year-over-year growth data."
"嗯，那个，就是说，我觉得这个方案吧，可能，啊，不太行，就是成本太高了，然后时间也不够，不对，时间倒还行，主要是成本的问题。"
"这个方案不太行，主要是成本太高。时间倒还可以。"
Features
TalkSift listens to what you say, figures out what you mean, and writes it clearly.
Ums, uhs, "like", "you know" — gone. Repetitions and tangents — trimmed. Only your actual point survives.
"Make it Monday — wait, no, Tuesday." TalkSift keeps Tuesday. It tracks when you change your mind and keeps the final intent.
Beyond grammar fixes. TalkSift restructures your rambling thoughts into clear, well-written text that sounds like you typed it carefully.
Speak in English, Chinese, or mix both. TalkSift handles multilingual input natively — no switching modes.
Speech recognition runs 100% locally on your Mac. Your audio is never uploaded anywhere.
Text polishing uses a cloud AI service (DeepSeek) via encrypted connection. No data is stored or used for training.
How It Works
Hit the shortcut and speak naturally. Ramble, restart, think out loud. No need to be articulate.
AI strips filler, detects corrections, identifies your core message, and restructures it into clean prose.
Polished text lands in your clipboard — or directly into any app. It reads like you typed it with care.

FAQ
Voice-to-text gives you a transcript — every "um", false start, and tangent included. TalkSift gives you what you meant to say, distilled and polished. Think of it as the difference between a recording and an edited essay.
No. TalkSift preserves your intent and ideas. It removes noise (filler words, restarts, rambling) and restructures for clarity — but your meaning stays intact. You always review before sending.
English and Chinese at launch, including mixed-language input. More languages are on the roadmap.
Your voice audio is processed entirely on your device using local speech recognition — it never leaves your Mac. The transcribed text is sent to an AI service (DeepSeek) for polishing via encrypted connection. We don't store your audio or text, and your data is never used to train models. See our Privacy Policy for details.
TalkSift will support macOS 13 (Ventura) and later at launch.
