Offline, one-time-purchase AI dictation app for Mac and Windows that types speech into any app via a global hotkey.
What it does
Voicetypr is a desktop dictation app that converts speech to text roughly 3x faster than typing, working system-wide via a global hotkey so users don't need per-app setup. It runs offline by default using local Whisper/Parakeet models, with optional cloud engines (Groq, Deepgram, OpenAI) for speed, plus optional AI cleanup using a user-supplied API key. It's sold as a single lifetime license rather than a subscription, and also offers a CLI/API for scripting and AI agents.
