Voicetypr is a private, offline-by-default voice dictation app for Mac and Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak in Japanese, and the text lands in whatever field you are working in. In local mode, transcription runs entirely on your device — so your voice never leaves your machine, which matters in a market where the APPI and the Personal Information Protection Commission set clear expectations for handling personal data.
Privacidad en Japan
Japan regulates personal data under the APPI — the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (個人情報保護法) — enforced by the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC / 個人情報保護委員会), and it is one of the most advanced technology markets in the world. Voicetypr's local-first architecture fits both sides of that. In local mode your audio is transcribed on your own machine, we store nothing on our servers, and no recording is sent to a cloud transcription service. Just as important for Japanese users: the local Whisper models handle Japanese strongly on-device, so Japanese-language dictation stays offline and private — and the text drops straight into any app, system-wide, on Mac and Windows. This is an architectural property, not a compliance certificate — you remain responsible for the personal data you handle, and Voicetypr is designed to help you meet your APPI expectations.
Ley aplicable
En Japan, los datos personales se rigen por the APPI (the Act on the Protection of Personal Information / 個人情報保護法). La arquitectura local-first de Voicetypr está diseñada para ayudarte a cumplir esas expectativas; tú sigues siendo responsable como responsable del tratamiento.
Autoridad de control
La supervisión corre a cargo de the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC / 個人情報保護委員会). Como el dictado principal mantiene tu audio en tu dispositivo, reduces la superficie de transferencia de datos que más se vigila.
Idiomas
Whisper es multilingüe, así que los modelos locales manejan los idiomas que la gente realmente usa en Japan, sin pasar por la nube para el dictado principal.

Preguntas frecuentes
Compliance depends on your full data-handling setup, so no tool can simply grant it to you. What Voicetypr provides is the architecture that makes it easier: in local mode, transcription runs on your device, your voice never leaves your machine, and we store nothing on our servers. That keeps your audio out of any cloud transfer, which is designed to help you meet your APPI obligations. You remain responsible for how you handle the personal data you produce.
Not in local mode. The local Whisper models transcribe your speech directly on your Mac or Windows machine, so the audio is never uploaded — there is no cross-border data transfer to reason about. If you explicitly opt into the optional cloud speech-to-text feature, that specific request goes to the provider you choose, but it is off by default and entirely your decision.
Yes. The local Whisper models are multilingual and handle Japanese well on-device, producing natural kanji, hiragana, and katakana for everyday business and technical vocabulary. Because the work happens locally, your Japanese dictation stays private. Optional AI text formatting can tidy punctuation and spacing afterward — that step sends only text, using your own AI provider and key.
The Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC / 個人情報保護委員会) is Japan's data protection authority and enforces the APPI. Because Voicetypr's core dictation keeps your voice on your device, you reduce the data-transfer surface the PPC scrutinises most — though you remain responsible for any personal data you handle.
