""I think Granola is awesome; it's a shining example of what you can do with an Electron app given enough love and care. When I first tried it, I was fascinated that it managed to record system audio on my Mac without recording video, which was the standard workaround at the time.""
""The state-of-the-art hosted transcription models - the same providers folks like Granola use - are incredible, and it's viscerally cool to see your speech unfurled onscreen in near real-time. But it always nagged me that the tradeoff required providing not just my data, but my audio data; my actual voice.""
""During that time, I was slowly piecing together a toolkit, but I never found anything that felt like it could stand on its own as a product rather than just a cool tech demo.""
Talat is a new Mac app developed by Nick Payne, aimed at providing a private, local-only AI notetaking solution. Valued at $250 million, Granola is popular among tech founders and VCs, but Payne believes there is a demand for alternatives that do not require subscriptions. His journey began with the discovery of an Apple API that allowed for innovative audio recording, leading to the creation of an open-source audio library. The app utilizes FluidAudio, enabling local transcription models on Apple's Neural Engine.
