What does GHOSTYPE do?

GHOSTYPE is a desktop app for macOS that turns your spoken words into typed text. You speak into your microphone, and it inserts the transcribed text directly into whatever app you're using, from email clients to code editors. The core idea is to bridge the gap between speaking speed and typing speed, letting you input text roughly 3.75 times faster than typing.

What makes GHOSTYPE stand out is its focus on polishing your raw speech. Its AI can clean up filler words and hesitations, turning 'um, I think we should probably like revisit the budget' into a clear 'I think we should revisit the budget.' You can also edit text by speaking corrections mid-sentence, like saying 'dot' to insert a period, or use 'suffix commands' by adding 'ghost' and an instruction to rephrase text for a specific audience. It lets you create different 'Polish Profiles' so your Slack messages stay casual while your emails automatically sound professional.

This tool is for anyone who writes a lot during their day and wants to save time. It's useful for professionals drafting emails, developers writing documentation, or creators jotting down ideas. By keeping all processing on your device, it also addresses privacy concerns, ensuring your voice data isn't sent to the cloud. It's a straightforward tool for getting words out of your head and onto the screen, faster.
