How it works

Three steps. Instant.

No cloud handshake, no waiting room, no progress bar. Press the hotkey and your words land where you're typing.

Step one

Fires the moment you press.

The model is loaded before you touch the keyboard. Press your hotkey and recording starts in milliseconds. No cloud handshake to wait for. Works in any app, on a plane, with the wifi off.

Ctrl+Shift+Space
Step two

Talk 4× faster than you type.

Average typing: 45 words a minute. Average speaking: 220. TypeTalk transcribes you as fast as you can talk, and your voice never leaves the machine. Two hours a day prompting Claude becomes 30 minutes back tomorrow.

220 wpm · transcribing on your machine
Step three

Lands wherever you're typing.

Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Slack, Notion, your inbox, your IDE. TypeTalk types into whatever app has focus. No app switching, no manual paste, no extension to install per app.

Reliable

It never quits on you.

The fastest dictation in the world is useless if it stalls, cuts out, or gets worse the longer you use it. This one just works, every single time.

It never cuts out mid-sentence

Cloud tools drop the session on a network blip and cap you at six minutes a take. There is no network leg here and no session cap, so a long brain-dump just keeps going.

Just as fast on day 500 as day one

Read the reviews of the cloud apps and the same line keeps coming up: great during the trial, flaky after you pay. This runs on your machine, so it does not slow down when someone else's server gets busy.

The dictation Windows should have shipped

Win+H still cannot place a comma and dies the moment your connection hiccups. This is the reason TypeTalk exists. Press the key, talk, and clean text lands in whatever app you are in.

Light enough to forget it is running

Under 200MB of memory sitting idle, versus the ~800MB and spinning fans people report from the cloud apps. Cursor, Docker, Slack and forty browser tabs already open? You will not feel it.

The math

You speak about 4× faster than you type.

TypeTalk transcribes you as fast as you can talk. If you spend two hours a day prompting Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT, that's 30 minutes back tomorrow.

Cloud-based voice tools structurally can't offer lifetime. Every transcription costs them money. Ours doesn't, so we charge once.

Instant

Fires the moment you press the key

The model is pre-loaded the second the app opens. Press your hotkey, the recording starts, the text streams as you speak. No 8-second cloud handshake. No server to wake up. No spinner.

Offline

Works with no internet at all

On a plane, in a dead zone, on a locked-down work machine behind Citrix or RDP. There is no network leg to drop, so it never cuts out mid-sentence the way cloud tools do.

Lifetime

Free to start, $99 once when you outgrow it

Try it free. 2,000 words a week, full features, works offline forever. When you start replacing your keyboard, pay $99 once and take the cap off. No subscription. All future updates included.

Universal input

Works in every app you write in.

If the app accepts keyboard input, TypeTalk works in it. We type into whatever has focus.

Runs on your machine

And yes, your voice stays on your laptop.

Everything happens on your computer. No cloud step, no servers behind us, nothing to upload. If you ever want to check, open netstat while you talk and you will see zero network activity. We did not build it this way to make a point about privacy. We built it this way because local is what makes it instant, offline, and yours for $99.

Eric Disero, founder of TypeTalk
Why I built this

I built this because Windows dictation is broken.

I prompt Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT all day, so I talk a lot more than I type. The voice typing built into Windows could not keep up. It needs internet, it dies the second my connection hiccups, and it still cannot put a comma in the right place.

The paid cloud apps were not much better. Quick in the trial, then slow and flaky once I was hooked, eating most of a gigabyte of memory while my fans spun up. So I built the thing I actually wanted.

Press a key, talk, and clean text shows up instantly in whatever app I am in. It runs entirely on my machine, so it is fast, it works on a plane, and it never quits on me. I use it dozens of times a day. I am dictating this paragraph with it right now. That is the whole pitch.

Questions

Things people actually ask.

Yes. 2,000 words a week, every week, forever. No card. No expiry. If you only use it occasionally, you'll never pay us a dollar.
For occasional use, easily. About 12 to 15 minutes of dictation per week. If you start replacing your keyboard, you'll hit the cap by Wednesday or Thursday, and that's when the lifetime license starts to make sense.
There isn't one. We have zero per-user cost because everything runs on your laptop. We charge once and we update forever.
TypeTalk runs Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 locally. About 6% word error rate on natural English, beats Whisper Large V3 on quality while being roughly 10x faster on the same hardware. Whisper is still bundled as a legacy option for non-European languages, heavy custom dictionary use, or Vulkan GPU on older NVIDIA cards. Quiet room with a decent mic: 95%+. Free and paid use the same engine, so your free trial is the real product.
Yes. TypeTalk types into whatever app has focus. If the app accepts keyboard input, TypeTalk works in it.
The free tier is the trial. Download it, try it. No card, no commitment. If you upgrade and it doesn't work, 30-day no-questions-asked money-back.
Yes. Free and paid both get every update, every major version, free, forever.
The product keeps working. Free tier doesn't expire. The paid license is cached locally with a 14-day offline grace window. The model and the app live on your machine. Nothing breaks.
No. Everything happens on your machine: audio in, text out, nothing uploaded. We don't have inference servers, so there's nowhere for a recording or transcript to land. Open netstat while you transcribe and you'll see zero network activity.
Not yet. iOS keyboard and Android IME are on the roadmap. TypeTalk ships for Windows and Mac at launch.
