Tish for Mac — Clean Calls, Recording, and AI Notes

Native macOS call companion with real-time mic noise cancellation, recording, post-call transcription, speaker identification, and AI summaries.

BSHK

Runs automatically the moment the call ends. Not happy with the result? One Reanalyze button.

Under the hood: VAD in parallel on raw + processed audio, SED for hygiene, LUFS from preview — single pass over the files.

Every metric answers a concrete question: "was I cutting people off," "did the noise canceller actually do work," "was I crunching chips into the mic." Score 100 isn't "we're awesome" — it means speech hygiene was in range.

Just rolled out Call Insights in Tish.

After every call you get what's in the screenshot: Talk/Listen, NC effectiveness in dB, noise floor, speech hygiene (lip smacks, chewing, background events).

Currently polishing things up before an App Store release. If you work with audio and want to give it a try — reach out, I'd love the feedback.

Solovey fixes that in a couple of clicks: drop in a file, the app removes noise, levels out the volume — and gives you a clean result. Everything runs locally on your Mac, no cloud uploads.

Speed-wise: a 10-minute recording processes in about 3 minutes on a MacBook Pro.

Building Solovey — a macOS app that cleans up audio recordings

You know the deal: you recorded a podcast, interview, or lecture — and the audio has background noise, hum, and volume jumping all over the place.

Want to adapt this for your domain?

The approach works for any specialized translation:
• Legal
• Medical
• Technical
• Gaming

Build a dictionary. Fine-tune a small model. Beat the giants.

Key lessons:

1. Remove what you don't need
2. Domain dictionaries > model size
3. 16-bit LoRA >> 4-bit QLoRA
4. Measure everything
5. Iterate relentlessly

Final results:

• 400K recipes in 2.5 hours
• RTX 4090
• $5 electricity
• 90% quality
• 155ms per translation

DeepL would need 55 hours and $5,000.
