Tired of subscription fees for dictation software that sends your voice to the cloud? TypeWhisper is the free, open-source alternative that runs entirely on macOS and Windows ā no internet required, no monthly costs.

Hey PH! š
I'm SeoFood, the solo developer behind TypeWhisper.
I built this because I was tired of choosing between:
Cloud dictation that sends my voice to who-knows-where
Expensive subscriptions for something that should just work locally
Apple's built-in dictation that lacks features I actually need (per-app profiles, file transcription, API access)
So I built TypeWhisper. 100% on-device, open source, free forever.
What's different?
ā Your voice NEVER leaves your machine (privacy-first)
ā Works offline (great for airplane mode or sensitive environments)
ā Three AI engines to choose from depending on your needs
ā HTTP API for automation nerds š¤
ā macOS AND Windows (not just one platform)
I'd love your feedback!
If you're into privacy, productivity, or just curious ā try it out and let me know what you think. I'm actively developing this and respond to every GitHub issue.

I just started using TypeWhisper and I love it. The TTS is super fast and works like a charm. The dictionary feature is well thought: you can just add global replacements for words that got recognized wrong, so gets better over time :) ATM I'm using the tool mainly for prompt generation since I'm not a writer.
