What Tellaflow does

Voice-to-text, done right.

Works without internet

Plane, basement, flaky café Wi-Fi. Tellaflow runs entirely on your Mac — no connection needed, ever.

65 languages in. English out.

Speak in any language. Get clean English text. No translation API, no cloud, no cost.

Whisper & Parakeet

Two world-class open-source speech models. Downloaded once, run locally forever. You choose the right one.

Zero data leaves your Mac

Not "we promise." Architecturally impossible. There is no server, no endpoint, no data path out of your machine.

Faster than you can type

No cloud round-trip means zero latency. Words appear in your text field the moment you finish speaking.

Works in every app

VS Code, Notion, Slack, Gmail, the terminal — if there's a cursor, Tellaflow types into it. No plugins needed.

Use cases

Works everywhere. Even there.

01In the meeting room

You're supposed to be listening 👂 and capturing everything. 📋

Dictate notes, action items, follow-ups. All while looking like you're paying attention.

02At 35,000 feet

The WiFi costs 💸 $40 and doesn't work. Tellaflow does.

Full transcription, zero internet. The whole model runs on your Mac — runway to runway.

03Behind the firewall

"Cloud anything" gets you a visit 👮 from IT. This doesn't.

Air-gap safe. VPN compatible. Zero bytes leave your device, ever. Architecturally impossible.

04Across 65 languages

Speak any language 🌍. Get English text. No translation API.

Whisper transcribes and translates in one pass — entirely on your Mac, zero cloud, zero cost.

05The 6am idea

That thought 💡 you need to capture before your brain quietly loses it.

Open Tellaflow, speak, done. No login, no load time, no excuses. Just the idea, preserved.

06While coding

Narrate PRs, comments, tickets, docs ⌨️. Your keyboard is the bottleneck.

VS Code, terminal, Notion, Linear — if there's a cursor, Tellaflow types into it.

SCROLL

Stop typing.
Start speaking.

Free forever. No account. No cloud. Just your Mac and your voice.
