How it works
Click into any reply box, in any app, and hold the key.
Say the message, or just what it should say. Ramble. It cleans up.
The reply appears in the field, written like you. You read it and press Send.
What it does for you
While you hold the key, TalkOS reads the conversation around the box, so “tell her yes” turns into a reply that fits it.
Hold Right Option and Command, and say how to change what’s already there.
Your name, your sign-off, your length and tone. When you change a draft before sending, it learns from that.
After a reply, one click saves a person, a promise or a note. Nothing is saved unless you click.
Email gets a greeting and a sign-off. Chat stays short. Same key.
Speak in any language your Mac can transcribe. Or write in English and say “translate to German” with the edit key.
Privacy
Your voice is turned into text on this Mac. The recording never leaves it.
No background watching. It looks at the conversation when you press, and you can turn that off.
The reply waits in the field. You read it, change it if you like, and press Send yourself.
