Cloud-based voice tools structurally can't offer lifetime. Every transcription costs them money. Ours doesn't, so we charge once. See the full head-to-head with Wispr Flow.

Why we can charge once

A subscription pays for a server. We don't have one.

Subscriptions exist to cover a cost that keeps repeating. The cloud apps bill you every month because every transcription you make costs them money. TypeTalk has no such cost, so we charge $99 once and honor the license forever.

Zero servers

There is no inference cloud behind TypeTalk. The model runs on your machine, so we never pay for a GPU to transcribe your words. A customer who dictates all day costs us exactly the same as one who never opens the app: nothing.

Zero API bills

We don't rent transcription from anyone. The whole engine ships inside the app and runs locally. No per-minute metering, no usage tier to upsell you into, no reason to cap your session at six minutes.

Nothing to host

Your voice and your transcripts never leave the laptop, so there is no storage to pay for and no account database to maintain. That removes the single recurring cost that forces every cloud tool onto a subscription.

A cloud tool that tried to match this would be selling at a loss on its heaviest users. The math only works because TypeTalk runs where you do.

Pricing questions

The stuff you're wondering.

Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes. 2,000 words a week, every week, forever. No card, no expiry, no account to create. If you only dictate occasionally, you will never pay us a dollar.
What's the catch at $99?
There isn't one. We have zero per-user cost because everything runs on your laptop. The $99 removes the weekly word cap and gives you every future update for life. We charge once and we update forever.
What if it doesn't work on my machine?
The free tier is your trial. Download it, run it, see for yourself. No card, no commitment. If you buy the lifetime license and it still doesn't work for you, there's a 30-day no-questions-asked refund.
Do I get future updates?
Yes. Free and paid both get every update and every major version, free, forever. There are no new tiers to buy later and no version-locked license. The price you pay is the price for all of it.
What happens if you go out of business?
The product keeps working. The free tier never expires. The paid license is cached locally with a 14-day offline grace window, and the model and the app already live on your machine. Nothing phones home, so nothing breaks.

Try it free. Buy it once.

Download it and run the free tier as long as you like. When you hit the weekly cap, $99 takes it off, for good.
