Voicetypr

Voicetypr is an offline AI voice dictation tool designed for Mac and Windows users who want to convert speech to text efficiently across any application. It enables users to type with their voice, offering a speed advantage over traditional typing and aiming to help founders, developers, and creators who spend considerable time at the keyboard. The tool is delivered as a downloadable desktop application for macOS 13+ and Windows 10+, with setup involving installation, model selection (choosing between local models for speed or accuracy), and hotkey configuration for quick access.

Voicetypr supports both local and optional cloud-based transcription. By default, it operates offline using local models such as Whisper and Parakeet, but users can opt for cloud engines like Groq, Deepgram, OpenAI, or Soniox for enhanced speed or accuracy, especially on less powerful machines. The application allows dictation into any software with a text cursor, requiring no per-app setup, and supports a global hotkey for ease of use. Additional features include push-to-talk, tap-to-lock for hands-free operation, custom vocabulary, translation, multiple formatting modes, per-app rules, and transcription of audio and video files. Users can also clean up transcripts with AI formatting by providing their own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API keys, though only text is processed, not audio, and this step is optional.

The tool accommodates a wide range of languages, automatically detecting and transcribing speech in 99 languages. For automation and integration purposes, Voicetypr offers a CLI and Agent API, enabling transcription via scripts and allowing use by AI agents. It also provides searchable local transcript history and supports network transcription, letting a powerful desktop transcribe for a lighter laptop over Wi-Fi.

Voicetypr is sold as a lifetime license, with a one-time payment covering use on up to two devices. There is a free three-day trial available without requiring a credit card, and purchases are backed by a seven-day money-back guarantee. The tool is developed and supported by a solo founder, with direct support offered to users.
