About:
Talon is a powerful cross-platform automation tool that enables hands-free computer control through voice commands, eye tracking, and custom mouth noises. It provides a programmable Python scripting environment for creating complex macros and workflows, making it ideal for users with RSI or those seeking efficient input alternatives. The software integrates deeply with operating systems to offer system-wide control beyond simple dictation.
Key Features:
  • Multi-modal input: voice, eye tracking, and sound recognition
  • Fully scriptable with Python for custom automation
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Extensible with community-created scripts and plugins
  • Real-time performance with low latency
Use Cases:
  • Hands-free computer control for accessibility needs
  • Programming and text editing without keyboard strain
  • Rapid workflow automation and macro creation
  • Gaming and creative application control
Alternatives:
  • Talon Voice – Talon is more extensible and scriptable than commercial alternatives like Dragon NaturallySpeaking
  • HammerSpoon – HammerSpoon is macOS-only and lacks built-in voice/eye tracking capabilities
  • AutoHotkey – AutoHotkey is Windows-only and requires more manual configuration for accessibility features
