Voicetypr is a private, offline-by-default voice dictation app for Mac and Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak Portuguese, and your words land in whatever field you are working in. In local mode the transcription happens entirely on your device, so your voice never leaves your machine — and you pay once instead of feeding another monthly subscription in dollars.
Privacy in Brazil
Brazil is one of the largest Portuguese-speaking markets in the world, and the LGPD has made data protection a real concern for Brazilian companies and freelancers alike, with the ANPD now actively regulating and applying penalties. Voicetypr fits this market on two fronts. First, the local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe Brazilian Portuguese well on-device, so your dictation stays offline and private — 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. Second, Voicetypr is a one-time purchase, not a recurring USD subscription that quietly drains your card every month — a genuine advantage in a price-sensitive market. This is architecture, not a certificate: you remain the controller of your own data, and Voicetypr is designed to help you meet your LGPD expectations.
Governing law
Personal data in Brazil is governed by the LGPD (the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, Lei nº 13.709/2018). Voicetypr's local-first architecture is designed to help you meet those expectations — you remain responsible as the data controller.
Regulator
Oversight comes from the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD). Because core dictation keeps your audio on your device, you cut down the data-transfer surface they scrutinise most.
Language support
Whisper is multilingual, so the local models handle the languages people actually work in across Brazil — no cloud round-trip required for core dictation.
Why it fits
FAQ
Compliance depends on your full processing setup, so no tool can simply certify it for you. What Voicetypr provides is architecture that helps: in local mode, transcription runs on your device, your voice never leaves your machine, and we store nothing on our servers. By keeping your audio off any cloud, Voicetypr is designed to help you meet your LGPD obligations, while you remain the controller responsible for compliance.
Not in local mode. The local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe your speech directly on your own Mac or Windows machine, so the audio is never uploaded anywhere. If you explicitly turn on the optional cloud speech-to-text feature, only that specific request reaches the provider you chose — but it is off by default and entirely your decision.
Yes. The local models are multilingual and handle Brazilian Portuguese well, including everyday business and technical vocabulary, all on-device with no cloud round-trip. Optional AI text formatting can tidy punctuation and capitalisation afterwards — that step sends only text, using your own AI provider and key, never your audio.
The Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) is Brazil's data protection authority, which regulates and enforces the LGPD and can apply penalties for non-compliance. Because Voicetypr's core dictation keeps your voice on your device, you reduce the data-transfer surface the ANPD scrutinises most — though you remain responsible for how you handle any personal data you produce.
