01
Autocorrect wages a private war on your spelling.
It corrects words you spelled correctly to words you didn't mean. It misses words you spelled wrong. Either way, you're spending cognitive energy on the wrong thing.
All use cases
voicetypr for dyslexia
Say what you mean. Skip the spelling fight.
If reading your draft is slower than writing it — and autocorrect keeps changing the wrong words — skip the fight. Speak, get text, keep moving.

what hurts today
The friction is real, and specific
02
Reading what you typed slows the loop.
If proofreading takes longer than drafting, you avoid drafting. The cost of writing goes up. The amount you write goes down.
03
Long-form drafts are a tax, not a tool.
The exact moment you most want to capture a complex idea is the exact moment spelling gets in the way of doing it.

Spelling decisions per sentence
You speak the words. The model writes them. Whether you remember how to spell "accommodation" stops mattering.

Three workflows where it shows up
- 01
Long-form drafting without the spelling stutter
Open the doc. Hold the hotkey for as long as you have a thought. Release. Repeat. Edit at the end, when your brain is in editing mode. Drafting and editing become two distinct passes instead of one tangled one.
- 02
Email and replies without autocorrect interference
Place the cursor in the reply box. Talk. The text appears as paste, not as native typing — autocorrect on the host app doesn't get a chance to second-guess your words.
- 03
School / work writing where the assessment is the idea, not the typo
Voice removes the gap between your reading-level vocabulary and your typing-level vocabulary. The vocabulary you'd use in a conversation is now the vocabulary that ends up on the page.

The honest Dyslexia FAQ
Pulled from real conversations with people who use VoiceTypr for this exact reason.
Does the model spell uncommon words correctly?+
Yes for most domain vocabulary — the medium and large on-device models are trained on a broad corpus including technical terms, names, places. Domain-specific jargon (rare scientific terms, niche product names) sometimes needs a quick edit, but the common-word miss rate is very low.
What about names and proper nouns?+
Common names work. Unusual ones occasionally need a quick correction. The Default formatting preset preserves capitalization on names it recognizes; you can also add a custom preset that knows your specific frequent names if you want.
Does AI formatting help or hurt for dyslexic writing?+
Helps if you want clean punctuation and paragraph breaks; turn it off if you want the raw transcript. The Email preset is good for replies. The Prompts preset is best for AI conversations. Both are off by default — you opt in.
Is my voice data used to train models?+
No. VoiceTypr transcribes your voice on your machine by default. Optional AI formatting sends text only when enabled; your audio is not sent for model training.
Does it work for someone whose first language isn't English?+
Yes — VoiceTypr supports 99+ languages. Dictation works in your native tongue or in English. You can switch via the model language picker.
