Voicetypr is a private, offline-by-default voice dictation app for Mac and Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak in Spanish, and the text lands in whatever field you are working in. In local mode, transcription runs entirely on your device — so your voice never travels to a server, and you are not paying a monthly subscription in dollars to dictate in your own language.
Privacy in Chile
Chile is rebuilding its privacy regime: the long-standing Ley 19.628 sobre Protección de la Vida Privada is being modernized by Ley 21.719, which enters into force on 1 December 2026 and creates a new, autonomous Agencia de Protección de Datos Personales with real powers to investigate and fine. Until then Ley 19.628 still governs, so Chilean organisations are already preparing for a stricter, GDPR-influenced standard. Voicetypr's local-first architecture fits that direction of travel: 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. The local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe Chilean Spanish well on-device, so your Spanish dictation stays offline and private by default — and because Voicetypr is a one-time purchase rather than a recurring USD subscription, it fits a price-sensitive market too. This is architecture, not a certificate: you remain responsible for the personal data you handle, and Voicetypr is designed to help you meet Ley 21.719 expectations as they take effect.
Governing law
Personal data in Chile is governed by Chile's data-protection framework — historically Ley 19.628 sobre Protección de la Vida Privada, now being modernized by Ley 21.719, which enters into force on 1 December 2026. 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 new Agencia de Protección de Datos Personales (APDP), the autonomous authority that Ley 21.719 creates to supervise data protection in Chile. 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 Chile — no cloud round-trip required for core dictation.
Why it fits
FAQ
Compliance is a property of your full processing setup, so no tool can certify it for you — especially while Chile transitions from Ley 19.628 to Ley 21.719. What Voicetypr offers is helpful architecture: 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 Ley 21.719 obligations as they take effect, while you remain 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 Spanish well — including everyday Chilean vocabulary — all on-device with no cloud round-trip, and you can switch between Spanish and English. Optional AI text formatting can tidy punctuation, accents, and capitalisation afterwards — that step sends only text, using your own AI provider and key, never your audio.
Chile is changing its regulator. Today the framework still rests on Ley 19.628, but Ley 21.719 — in force from 1 December 2026 — creates a new, autonomous Agencia de Protección de Datos Personales with powers to investigate and fine. Because Voicetypr's core dictation keeps your voice on your device, you reduce the data-transfer surface that authority will scrutinise most — though you remain responsible for any personal data you produce.
