But also stupid. We have rovers on Mars and AI that can pass the Bar exam. Yet, when your phone rings, you are still forced to use your actual mouth to make noises at people.
Long, long time ago, Apple and Google decided you weren't to be trusted with your own call audio. They walled it off so that it was impossible for app developers to touch the live stream. Eventually, everyone learned to live with this, until…
Tacet is a tiny, sexy, mid-century modern USB device. It creates a physical bridge between the call and our but also any other app people will start making.
It tricks the phone into handing over the raw audio. It’s not a permission slip, but rather a permanent bypass, because it relies on carefully selected paths which our villains can't afford to block.
Let the AI take the heat.
Your boss calls at 5 PM on a Friday? Stick it in.
We built the hardware. You build the rest. Tacet is fully documented and open.
Build a real-time translator. A transcriber for the deaf. Or something that scares us. The stream is yours again.
It's a tool. Like a hammer. You can hit a nail, or you can hit someone's head.
