Talk To Your Computer is a browser-based AI voice assistant that shares your screen and talks back in real time, so you can ask questions about what you're looking at and keep working.
About Talk To Your Computer
What Is Talk To Your Computer
Talk To Your Computer is a screen-aware AI voice assistant that runs entirely in your browser. You share a window, a tab or your whole desktop, grant microphone access, and then just talk. The AI answers out loud, sees the frames coming from your screen and keeps the thread of the conversation going as you move between apps.
It exists to kill a specific kind of friction. When you hit an error, or read a dense document, or pick up a new tool, the usual move is to bring the context to a chat box by copying, pasting and describing. Talk To Your Computer skips that step. The AI already sees what you see, so "what does this mean?" is a complete question.
The trade-offs are practical. It's a young product from a solo maker, Josef Büttgen, so it doesn't carry the app library or mobile apps a big platform would. It also leans on your browser and a screen share, which means it lives on the desktop rather than your phone.
Getting Started
- Open talktoyour.computer in Chrome or Edge and create an account
- Click "Share Screen" and pick a full desktop, a single app window or a browser tab
- Allow microphone access when the browser asks, then start talking
- Ask follow-up questions and pause the session whenever you want to stop sharing

Key features
Screen Sharing With AI Vision
The core of the product is screen awareness. You share a window, tab or full desktop, and the AI receives real-time frames combined with your voice, so its answers account for what's actually in front of you. You stay in control of what it sees: share one app window and that's all it can view. This is what turns a voice chat into a genuine assistant rather than a transcription box.
Real-Time Voice Conversation
You talk and the AI talks back, in a back-and-forth you can build on. Follow-up questions work because the model holds the thread of what you've been working through, the same way a person would. Because it responds out loud while you keep your hands on the keyboard, it fits tasks where typing would pull you out of the flow.
Browser-Based, Nothing to Install
Talk To Your Computer runs entirely in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser. There's no app to download and no system permissions to configure beyond the microphone and screen share the browser asks for. That's also why it works across Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook instead of locking you to one operating system.
One-Tap Screen Capture
Alongside live screen sharing, there's a screenshot feature that captures what's on your screen for a question. The screenshot can sit in a picture-in-picture panel, so you can keep an image of the screen in view while you talk about it. It's a lighter option when you don't want to share everything continuously.
Managed Subscription and Free Trial
The free tier gives you 5 conversations a day with no credit card, enough to see how screen-aware voice chat feels. A 7-day trial unlocks unlimited conversations, again without a card. After that, a single plan covers unlimited use, with a 14-day money-back guarantee and a self-serve portal to manage or cancel the subscription.
Voice-Driven Workflows
The assistant is built around task types rather than prompts: voice chat, screen sharing and quick answers. You can start a conversation, pause it, or stop recording from the same compact interface. That simplicity is deliberate. There's no model picker or settings maze, so the tool stays out of the way while you work.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Screen-aware context removes the copy-paste step you'd otherwise do with a text chatbot
- Doubles as a quick voice chat with AI when you just want to ask something without touching the keyboard
- Works in the browser across Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook with nothing to install
- Free tier with 5 daily conversations and a 7-day unlimited trial, both without a credit card
- Handles the whole loop in one voice conversation, from the first question to the follow-up
Cons
- Runs in the browser only, so there's no native desktop app or mobile version
- Needs a screen share and microphone access, which won't suit privacy-sensitive work like entering passwords
- Young product from a solo developer, with no public API and a smaller feature set than established assistants
- $19/month is a real cost for a tool you might only use a few times a week
Frequently asked questions
It's a browser-based AI voice assistant and AI desktop assistant that can see your screen. You share a window or tab, talk out loud, and the AI answers with the context of what's on your screen, so you can ask about an error, a document or an app without pasting anything.
