Unlimited dictation. Free forever. All on your own PC.
Everyone else caps you by the week because your voice goes to their servers and somebody pays for every minute. Yours never leaves your machine, so there is nothing to meter and nothing to charge you for. No GPU needed. Screen recording and meeting notes are in the same app.
Dictation, screen recording and meeting memory normally cost ~$50/user/month across cloud tools that don't talk to each other. Typort does it all - on your own PC for free, or on the web from any machine. And local mode doesn't even need a GPU - most CPUs run it fine. Local dictation is free forever. NVIDIA's Parakeet engine flies on the chip you already have.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok share one searchable memory, so they can collaborate. Ask any of them what any of them said.
Speak. It types - into any Windows app at speaking speed. Keyboards do ~45 words a minute. You talk at 150.
Record your screen and send the link to anyone. It's live before you even stop recording - whoever you send it to can start watching while you're still talking. Every 3 seconds is already saved, so a crash can't eat your video.
Say "Typort meeting" - it records, transcribes, saves the transcript to your own disk and pops insights every two minutes. Turn on cloud sync and your meetings become searchable alongside everything else in your vault.

Replacing Typort takes three subscriptions with zero shared context between them.
Local processing costs us nothing, so local is free. The cloud parts are what you pay for.
Your audio never leaves your machine. Not for dictation, not for meetings. Transcription happens on your own CPU and the recording stays on your disk.
Text is the part worth being precise about. Typort's default Polished mode sends the transcribed words of what you just said to our servers for a cleanup pass, once you have signed in - never the audio. Press F10 for Raw mode and nothing leaves at all: the model runs on your CPU and no server is called. Vault search is the other cloud part, because the index lives on our servers so any of your AIs can query it.
That choice is the point: install a cloud notetaker and your meetings live on someone else's infrastructure - their terms, their acquisitions, their breaches. Files on your own disk have none of that surface.
No - there's no GPU in the picture at all. Local dictation runs NVIDIA's Parakeet model on your CPU, fast on any modern machine. The Pro web tier runs everything in the cloud on any machine. Same app, pick per device.
Yes. Typort simulates keyboard input, so it works in anything that accepts text. F9 exists as an alternate hotkey precisely because terminals eat Ctrl+Space.
Local processing runs on your hardware, so it costs us nothing per user - that's why it's free and stays free. Pro pays for the parts that cost real server money: transcription, rewriting and share links on our servers, higher vault sync limits, and support.
Wispr Flow is excellent dictation, but transcription always happens in their cloud and costs $15/mo forever. Typort's dictation runs on your own machine for free, and it also records your screen and remembers your meetings - two more subscriptions you don't need.
Granola makes great meeting notes in their cloud. Typort's meeting mode transcribes locally and files transcripts by project on your own disk - and with Pro, any AI can query your vault over MCP. That's the feature Granola charges $14/user/mo for.
Dragon is an 8+ GB install from the pre-AI era. Typort is a small app that runs NVIDIA's modern Parakeet model on your CPU and doesn't cost $699.
Recorded, transcribed and stored on YOUR machine. This is why lawyers and healthcare workers use local tools.
Windows 10/11 (64-bit), 8 GB RAM, ~1 GB disk including the speech model. No GPU needed - most CPUs run it fine. Mac version coming soon.
It's built in Rust, not Electron. No bundled browser runtime, no 400 MB of Chromium - the whole app is a single ~75 MB binary. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and the Linux kernel are all adopting Rust for the same reason: speed with memory safety.
Share links are unlisted URLs - anyone with the exact link can view, nobody can browse or search for them. You can also keep recordings local-only with one toggle.
