Voicetypr is a private, offline-by-default voice dictation app for Mac and Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak, and your words land in whatever field you are working in. In local mode the transcription runs entirely on your device, so your voice never leaves your machine — and because the local models handle Polish as well as English, dictating in Polish stays just as private.
Privacy in Poland
Poland implements the GDPR as RODO — the acronym everyone here uses — backed by the Personal Data Protection Act (Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych) and overseen by the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO). With a large software and IT services sector and a fast-growing founder scene, a lot of sensitive material gets dictated every day: client notes, code, contracts, support replies. Voicetypr's local-first architecture fits that directly: in local mode your audio is transcribed on your own machine, we store nothing on our servers, and no recording is shipped to a cloud transcription provider. Crucially, the local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe Polish on-device, so Polish-language dictation — not just English — stays offline and private. It is an architectural answer, not a compliance badge: you remain the data controller, and Voicetypr is designed to help you meet your RODO/GDPR expectations.
Governing law
Personal data in Poland is governed by the GDPR (in Poland, known as RODO, implemented through the Personal Data Protection Act / Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych). 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 President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO — Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych). 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 Poland — no cloud round-trip required for core dictation.
Why it fits
FAQ
No tool can simply declare your organisation compliant — that depends on your full setup. What Voicetypr offers 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 RODO/GDPR obligations, while you remain the controller responsible for compliance.
In local mode, nowhere off your device. The local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe your speech directly on your Mac or Windows machine, so nothing is uploaded. The optional cloud speech-to-text feature is off by default; only if you turn it on does that specific request reach the provider you chose.
Yes. The local models are multilingual and handle Polish on-device, including its diacritics and everyday business and technical vocabulary, and you can switch between Polish and English mid-flow. Optional AI text formatting can tidy punctuation and capitalisation afterwards — that step sends only text, using your own AI provider and key.
Data protection in Poland is overseen by the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO — Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), who enforces RODO, Poland's implementation of the GDPR. Because Voicetypr's core dictation keeps your voice on your device, you reduce the data-transfer surface that authority scrutinises most — though you remain responsible for any personal data you produce.
