Voicetypr is a private, offline-by-default voice dictation app for Mac and Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak, 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. Romanian is one of the languages the local models handle on-device, so dictating in Romanian stays offline and private.
Privacy in Romania
Romania is one of the EU's larger markets, with a big IT, software outsourcing, and developer community that is used to thinking about where data goes. The GDPR applies directly, implemented nationally by Law no. 190/2018, and the ANSPDCP enforces it. Voicetypr's local-first architecture fits that mindset: 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 service. Because the local models are multilingual, Romanian is transcribed on-device — no cloud round-trip — so your dictation stays offline and private. This is architecture, not a certificate — you remain the controller of your own data, and Voicetypr is designed to help you meet your GDPR and Law 190/2018 expectations.
Governing law
Personal data in Romania is governed by the GDPR (in Romania, implemented nationally by Law no. 190/2018 on measures to apply Regulation (EU) 2016/679). 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 National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP / Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal). 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 Romania — 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. 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 GDPR and Law no. 190/2018 obligations, while you remain the controller responsible for compliance.
Not in local mode. Local Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe your speech on your own Mac or Windows machine, so the audio is never uploaded or moved across a border. If you explicitly opt into the optional cloud speech-to-text feature, that specific request goes to the provider you choose — but it is off by default and entirely your decision.
Yes. The local models are multilingual and handle Romanian on your own machine, including its diacritics and everyday business and technical vocabulary. You dictate in Romanian and the text appears in any app, with no cloud round-trip. Optional AI text formatting can tidy punctuation and casing — that step sends only text, using your own AI provider and key.
Data protection in Romania is overseen by the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP), which enforces the GDPR alongside Law no. 190/2018. Because Voicetypr's core dictation keeps your voice on your device, you reduce the data-transfer surface the ANSPDCP scrutinises most — though you remain responsible for how you handle any personal data you produce.
