Voice typing for Mac - accurate and fast

Setup in 30 seconds

1. Download from the Mac App Store and open Voice Type.
2. Choose your preferred model (optimized for Apple silicon, works on Intel too).
3. Press and hold your hotkey (default ⌥ Space), speak, release to finalize.

Hotkey voice typing anywhere

Trigger dictation from any app with a single hold-to-dictate hotkey. When you release, we finalize the last few seconds and insert the text where your cursor is.

Accuracy you can feel

We condition audio (loudness, noise, silence) before recognition so technical terms and product names stick. See examples on the Accuracy page.

Why it feels fast

Streaming recognition with short finalize windows keeps latency low. When you stop, we only finalize the last few seconds. Try the latency demo with your own setup.

FAQ

How accurate is Voice Type?

We improve clarity before recognition and optimize for everyday technical terms. See live examples on the Accuracy page.

How do I turn on voice typing on a Mac?

 → System Settings → Keyboard → Dictation → On. Voice Type adds a global hotkey so you can talk in any app.

Is Voice Type offline?

Yes - processing runs on your Mac. We focus on accuracy, speed, and value; offline is a bonus for privacy and steady latency.

Why does offline dictation feel faster?

Short finalize windows keep latency steady. When you release, we only finalize the last few seconds before inserting text.

Does Voice Type require an account?

No. It’s a one‑time Mac App Store purchase with a 7‑day free trial.

What Mac models are supported?

Apple silicon and Intel Macs that support Apple’s on‑device speech frameworks.
