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.

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.

Voice of customer
“I want a microphone, not a surveillance tool.”

Every other voice tool sends your audio to a server you don't own. The big ones screenshot your active window on top of it. TypeTalk doesn't have a server to send anywhere. Your voice never leaves your machine.

Lives on your laptop

Your voice goes from the microphone to the model to the cursor. No cloud step in the middle. Zero network calls during transcription, zero servers behind us, zero database your transcripts could ever land in.

Instant

Fires the moment you press the key

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

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.

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.

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.

Why I built this

I refused to send my voice to a server.

I prompt Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT all day. I was using Wispr Flow until I read what it was doing in the background. Capturing screenshots of my active window. Sending audio to a cloud server I didn't own. Storing context I never agreed to share.

I'm an indie founder with a stack of half-shipped projects in folders nobody else should ever see. So I shut Wispr off and built this instead.

TypeTalk runs on my laptop. Nothing leaves the machine. I use it dozens of times a day. The fact that I'm using it right now to dictate this section is the whole pitch.

— Eric Disero, founder

Questions

Things people actually ask.

No. Your audio and transcripts never leave your computer. There's nothing for us to read.
No. Nothing is stored on our servers because we don't have inference servers. Your transcripts only exist where you paste them.
No. Some cloud-based voice tools capture your screen, active window, or surrounding context. We don't. We get audio from your microphone and transcribe it locally. That's it.
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 — 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.
Yes. Free and paid both get every update, every major version, free, forever.
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.
TypeTalk runs OpenAI's Whisper model locally via whisper.cpp — the same model family that powers Wispr Flow and most production consumer voice tools. Quiet room with a decent mic: 95%+. Free and paid use the same models, so your free trial is the real product.
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.
Yes. TypeTalk types into whatever app has focus. If the app accepts keyboard input, TypeTalk works in it.
Not yet. iOS keyboard and Android IME are on the roadmap. TypeTalk ships for Windows and Mac at launch.
