What is TalkTone?
TalkTone requires TalkWriter Pro or Enterprise. Upgrade to Pro →
TalkTone is TalkWriter's built-in AI writing engine. It takes whatever you say out loud and reshapes it into polished, styled text -- instantly. Instead of just transcribing your words, TalkTone understands what you mean and rewrites it in the exact tone, style, and format you need.
If you have never used an AI writing tool before, think of it like this: you talk casually, and TalkTone turns your casual speech into professional writing. No editing needed.
The Problem TalkTone Solves
When you speak out loud, your words come out naturally -- with filler words, run-on sentences, and casual phrasing. That is perfectly fine for conversation, but it rarely works as written text. TalkTone fixes that gap automatically.
Example 1: Writing an Email
What you say:
so yeah I was thinking maybe we could push the meeting to next week because I have a bunch of stuff going on and it would be better if we had more time to prepare the slides and everything
| Output | |
|---|---|
| Without TalkTone ❌ | so yeah I was thinking maybe we could push the meeting to next week because I have a bunch of stuff going on and it would be better if we had more time to prepare the slides and everything |
| With TalkTone ✅ | Dear Team, I'd like to propose rescheduling our meeting to next week. This additional time will allow us to thoroughly prepare our presentation materials and ensure a more productive discussion. Please let me know if the revised timeline works for your schedules. |
Example 2: Writing a Social Media Post
What you say:
just launched our new feature it's really cool you can now do voice to text in like 30 languages and it works way better than anything else out there

| With TalkTone ✅ | We just launched multilingual voice-to-text supporting 30+ languages. Faster, more accurate, and built for real workflows. Try it today. |
Example 3: Writing a Document
What you say:
the quarterly revenue went up by about fifteen percent compared to last quarter mainly because we got more enterprise customers and the churn rate dropped a lot
| Output | |
|---|---|
| Without TalkTone ❌ | the quarterly revenue went up by about fifteen percent compared to last quarter mainly because we got more enterprise customers and the churn rate dropped a lot |
| With TalkTone ✅ | Quarterly revenue increased 15% quarter-over-quarter, driven primarily by enterprise customer acquisition and a significant reduction in churn rate. |
How TalkTone Works
The process is simple and happens in seconds:
- You speak -- dictate naturally, just like talking to a friend
- TalkWriter transcribes -- your speech becomes raw text
- TalkTone transforms -- AI reshapes the text into your chosen style
- You get polished output -- ready to paste anywhere
You control every aspect of the transformation:
| Setting | What It Controls | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Mode | The category of writing (Email, Chat, Creative, etc.) | Email mode adds greetings and sign-offs |
| Style | The specific voice within that mode | "Formal Business" vs "Friendly Casual" |
| Formatting | The level of formality (Casual, Neutral, Formal) | "Hey!" vs "Dear Mr. Smith," |
| Intensity | How much TalkTone changes your words | Light touch-up vs full rewrite |
| Custom Instructions | Special rules you define | "Always use British English" |
