01 the speed gap

you think faster than you type.

your fingers cap out around 40 words a minute. your mouth doesn't. tlkr just gets out of the way and keeps up.

typing 40wpm
talking · tlkr 150wpm

≈ 3.75× faster, verbatim, straight into the box.

02 verbatim, not vibes

your words. not a
model's rewrite.

the hushed apps quietly "polish" you into someone else. tlkr types exactly what left your mouth — every "um", every name, every joke intact.

live · verbatim
others — rewritten

"I would be delighted to circle back regarding the aforementioned deliverable."

↑ you never said that.
tlkr — verbatim

"yeah lemme get back to you on that thing later▍"

↑ exactly what you said.
why tlkr

four reasons it feels different.

instant

Real-time streaming transcription. Words land as you speak them — not after a cloud round-trip and a spinner.

verbatim

Your words, typed exactly. tlkr never editorializes your voice into something more "professional."

everywhere

Types straight into any app, any field — native key events. No clipboard, no copy-paste dance.

invisible

One hotkey and a small pill that never steals focus. Hold to talk, release, done. Then it's gone.

loud company

for people who'd
rather just say it.

"i stopped writing emails. i say them. tlkr types the exact thing i'd have written, minus the twenty minutes."
R Rae M. founder, one-person team
"other apps kept 'improving' my tone into corporate mush. tlkr just shuts up and types what i said."
D Devin O. staff engineer
"150 words a minute into slack, docs, cursor — whatever's in front of me. my hands get a break."
