Desktop dictation for developers. 100% on-device. Speak commit messages, code comments, documentation, and anything else directly into any app — powered by Whisper AI running entirely on your hardware.
Five core capabilities engineered into a lightweight C++ core that installs in seconds and stays out of your way.
Think aloud, keep your hands where they are, and let ShipTalk drop your thoughts into code, commits, docs, or chat — whatever app is in front of you.
Powered by Whisper AI running entirely on your local hardware. Zero API calls. Zero uploads. Ever.
Start, stop, and trigger transcription with hotkeys you define. Never break your keyboard flow.
Under 10ms recording latency. Your words appear almost before you finish saying them.
Teach ShipTalk your codebase. Custom replacements for camelCase names, function signatures, and jargon.
Narrate your intent naturally. ShipTalk converts your spoken thoughts into precise commit messages and inline comments without lifting a finger from the keyboard.
Draft READMEs, PR descriptions, Slack messages, and emails at the speed of speech. Stop context-switching between typing and thinking.
Built for developers managing repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, or who simply want to reduce keystrokes during long coding sessions.
Airplane, basement, or air-gapped server room — ShipTalk runs completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine, period.
Privacy isn't a feature toggle in ShipTalk — it's a structural guarantee. The C++ audio core captures, transcribes, and injects your speech without a single byte leaving your local hardware. No subscriptions. No accounts. No analytics.
Everything you need to know about ShipTalk and on-device voice transcription.
ShipTalk is a voice-to-code desktop application built by MakeShipHappenTech. It lets you dictate code, commit messages, documentation, and any text directly into any app on your OS — powered by on-device AI.
Never. ShipTalk runs Whisper AI locally on your machine. Your audio is processed entirely on-device in real time. No recordings are stored, uploaded, or analyzed externally.
ShipTalk ships with 6 Whisper model variants — from the ultra-fast tiny model for speed to the large-v3 model for maximum accuracy. You choose based on your hardware and preference.
ShipTalk is language-agnostic. It injects text anywhere your cursor is — so it works for Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, SQL, Markdown, or any other language or format.
The Developer Dictionary is a custom replacement layer you define. Saying "ship hook" could auto-expand to "useShipHappenEffect()" — it learns your team's vocabulary, not generic code patterns.
ShipTalk is available as a native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It integrates directly with your OS at the system level for universal text injection.
