Voicetypr

Voicetypr is a desktop dictation app that converts speech to text in any application using a global hotkey. It runs local transcription by default with Whisper and Parakeet models, optionally supporting cloud providers like OpenAI, Groq, and Deepgram. Users can enable AI formatting via OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini to clean up rough dictation, transcribe audio and video files, and access a searchable transcript history.

Built for writers, developers, and creators who want to capture ideas faster than typing, Voicetypr supports 99 languages with automatic detection, per-app formatting rules, and network sharing for distributed transcription. The GitHub repository describes it as an alternative to Superwhisper. It includes a CLI and API for AI agents, with a one-time lifetime license for local models.
