### Local or cloud, your call

On-device Whisper and Parakeet by default. On a lighter machine, switch to a cloud engine for speed and accuracy.

### Use a stronger machine

Let a powerful desktop transcribe for a lighter laptop, over your own Wi-Fi.

### Clean it up with AI

Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key and turn rough dictation into clean prompts, emails, and notes. Text only, never your audio, and always optional.

## Get your hours back

You think faster than you type. Voice typing closes the gap, so ideas land before they slip and the hours you lose to the keyboard come back to you.

You, typing≈ 40 wpm

You, talking≈ 130 wpm

About **3× faster** than the keyboard. That gap is the hours you get back.

“I built Voicetypr because paying a monthly fee for basic dictation didn't feel right.”

I type for 12+ hours a day. Most tools locked me into a subscription or felt like legacy software. Voicetypr is fast, offline by default, and runs on your machine. Try it free for 3 days to see if it actually saves you time.

## Questions, answered

Have a different question? Email support@voicetypr.com and we'll reply within hours.

### Does Voicetypr work on Windows?

Yes, Windows 10 and later. Download the .exe installer, run it, and you're set. We ship Mac and Windows as first-class platforms.

### Windows says “Unknown Publisher,” is it safe?

Yes. SmartScreen shows that because I don't have a Microsoft code-signing cert yet (they cost $200–$300/year and I'm keeping solo-founder costs lean). Click More info → Run anyway.

### Can I try Voicetypr for free?

Yes, 3-day free trial, no card required. When the trial ends, buy a lifetime license only if it saves you time. Purchases include a 7-day money-back guarantee.

### Does it work in Gmail, Slack, ChatGPT, and other apps?

Yes. Click where you want text, hold your hotkey, and speak. Voicetypr pastes into Gmail, Slack, Notion, Word, ChatGPT, Cursor, anywhere you type.

### Is my voice data private?

Yes. Voicetypr uses offline dictation by default, so transcription happens on your machine. Optional cleaner-text features work on the final text, not your voice recording.

### How does the AI cleanup work?

It's optional. Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key and Voicetypr turns rough dictation into clean prompts, emails, notes, even code. It only ever sends the text, never your audio, and you can leave it off entirely.

### What are the system requirements?

macOS Sonoma 14+ with Apple Silicon recommended, Intel Mac supported, or Windows 10+. Minimum 4 GB RAM.

### How many devices can I use?

Pick 1, 2, or 4 activations when you buy. Switch machines anytime within your limit. Need a team license? Email support@voicetypr.com.

### What does lifetime mean?

One price, yours forever. No subscription, no card on file. Updates we ship come with it, and Voicetypr keeps working on the version you own.

### What languages does Voicetypr support?

99 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, and Japanese, with automatic detection.

### Does it use my GPU on Windows?

On Windows, Voicetypr uses your graphics chip when it can for faster transcription. If not, it uses your processor, and it still works.

Still have a question? [Email support](mailto:support@voicetypr.com) and we'll reply within hours.

### Stop typing. Start talking

Free for 3 days, then it's yours for good. Works on macOS and Windows.
