Shall We Talk turns speech into clean text on iPhone and Mac. Dictate into any app with a voice keyboard that types at your cursor, Shortcuts, or a Mac hotkey, and record meetings into speaker-labeled transcripts and structured summaries. Cleanup is a proofreader, not a rewriter: it removes fillers and misheard words but keeps your wording, tone and Chinese-English code-switching. Open source (GPL-3.0); bring your own speech and LLM API keys. Advanced from build 200 to 243 with GPT-6 Astra.

Could you build this?
Partial The transcription and summarization pipelines are standard API wrappers, but building system-wide voice input that integrates via virtual keyboards and native global hotkeys across both iOS and macOS requires native Swift OS-level permissions and system integration.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift/SwiftUI application for macOS and iOS utilizing Accessibility APIs and custom iOS Keyboard extensions. While speech-to-text can leverage Apple's native Speech framework or Whisper APIs, handling system-wide text insertion, active window cursor targeting, and multi-speaker audio capture requires specialized low-level Apple OS API experience.
