Log what you spend in plain words, then just ask. expenseTALK is a quick daily expense tracker: type or dictate a sentence such as "$12 lunch", "twelve fifty for lunch at Chipotle" or "46 cents for candy", and it finds the amount and the category for you.

  • Plain-language entry: amounts in digits, with dollars, bucks or cents, or spelled out the way dictation writes them ("twelve fifty" = $12.50). Use your device's own dictation to say it: the microphone on a phone keyboard, or voice typing on a computer (Windows key + H on Windows).
  • Ask questions: "how much did I spend today?", "…this week?", "…on food this month?", "biggest category this week". Say "undo" to remove the last entry, "help" for examples.
  • Answers read aloud by your browser's voice (switch it off in Settings).
  • 8 categories (Food & Drink, Transport, Shopping, Bills & Subscriptions, Entertainment, Health, Housing, Other), picked from the words you use. Change one with its menu and expenseTALK remembers that word next time.
  • At a glance: totals for Today, 7 Days and Month, a chart by category, a 7-day bar chart, one-tap buttons for things you log often, and a daily logging streak.
  • Light or dark look (follows your device), your own currency symbol, CSV save and import (re-importing the same file never doubles anything).

Private by design: no account, no subscription, no server. Your expenses stay in your browser, on your device, unless you export them.

A digital download: one HTML file, delivered after purchase.

What you get: one file, expenseTALK.html (about 58 KB), that opens in your web browser. Nothing to install, and no internet connection needed: it loads nothing from the web. Laid out for a phone-size screen; in a computer's browser it shows as one centred column. Tested in Google Chrome on a computer, at phone and desktop widths.

Quick start: 1. Save the file somewhere you will find it again (for example Documents) and double-click it. 2. Click the box "Say what you spent…", type or dictate something like "$5 coffee" and press Enter. 3. Ask "how much did I spend today?". 4. If a category is wrong, pick the right one in that entry's menu. 5. Press Save now and then to keep a CSV backup.

Good to know: expenseTALK does not listen by itself: it reads the words your device's dictation types into the box. Each amount is logged at the moment you enter it (there is no date field), in one currency symbol. Your data is kept in the browser you use: use Save (CSV) regularly, and Settings > Import CSV to move it to another browser or computer. Whether a downloaded .html file opens on a phone depends on the phone; it has not been tested on a real phone.
