About GHOSTYPE

Ghostype is a context-aware AI voice interface specifically designed for macOS. It functions as an invisible AI layer that bridges the speed gap between speaking and typing by converting voice to polished text in real-time. The tool is uniquely aware of the active application, allowing it to automate workflows such as formatting and executing 'Send' commands. Key components include AI Polish for refining rough transcripts, In-line Logic for natural corrections, and App Profiles that automatically switch tones based on whether you are using Slack, Notion, VS Code, or other apps. It prioritizes privacy by processing data locally on the device.

How to Use

After downloading and installing on macOS, users can hold a custom hotkey to record their voice. Ghostype transcribes the speech, applies AI polishing based on the current app's profile, and inserts the text. Users can use 'Suffix Commands' (adding 'ghost' at the end) to modify text or use 'Ghost Morph' (Option + modifiers) to trigger specific AI skills like translation or quick memos.

Key Features

  • AI Polish: Automatically refines rough voice transcripts into professional text.
  • Context-Aware Profiles: Automatically switches writing tones based on the active app (e.g., casual for iMessage, professional for Mail).
  • Smart Auto-Send: Detects context to format and execute 'Send' commands automatically upon releasing the hotkey.
  • In-line Logic: Allows users to speak corrections naturally (e.g., 'dot com') without manually editing text.
  • Ghost Morph: AI modifier key system for quick skills like translation and memos.
  • Privacy-First: Voice and personal data stay on the local device and are not used for AI training.
  • Multilingual Support: Seamlessly switches between Chinese and English without manual toggling.

Use Cases

  • Drafting professional emails 3.75x faster than typing.
  • Sending concise Slack messages without needing to click 'Send'.
  • Translating spoken thoughts into different languages in real-time across any macOS app.
  • Creating creative notes in apps like Obsidian or Bear using specialized AI profiles.
  • Formatting code reviews and technical comments in VS Code via voice.
