Why we exist
Voice should remove friction, not create a cloud dependency.
Voice Type is a fast, on-device dictation app for macOS. Hold a hotkey, speak, and release. Clean text appears in any app. Because the recogniser runs locally, your words never leave your Mac and latency stays predictable.
The product came out of repeated frustration with tools that were either too slow, too cloud-dependent, or too awkward to use every day.
Fast facts
- Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).
- Processing: 100% on-device. Audio never leaves your Mac.

Mission
Remove the lag between thinking and writing.
We obsess over audio quality, ergonomics, and privacy so authors, developers, clinicians, founders, and anyone else who thinks faster than they type can keep momentum in their documents.
That means shipping fast, answering support quickly, and writing plainly enough that customers and compliance teams do not need a decoder ring.

Small team, deliberate hiring, direct communication.
We hire deliberately and keep the team small. If you are interested in engineering, design, customer success, press, or partnerships, send shipped work and context instead of a generic pitch deck.
