Voice typing, speech to text, and dictation
Voice typing
Use voice typing when you want spoken words to become editable text with minimal setup.
Speech to text
Use speech to text when you need quick copyable text from speech.
Desktop dictation
Use desktop dictation when you write notes, emails, prompts, or longer text across apps.
Use it where you write
Browser first
Useful for quick online voice input and checking microphone permissions.
Desktop for daily writing
Better when you dictate into more than one app and want a floating input panel.
System keyboards still matter
Phone keyboards and Gboard are still good references; VoiceTyping focuses on browser and desktop workflows.
Free and open source
The basic voice input workflow is free and open source. Optional cleanup, rewriting, and correction can use your own API key instead of a bundled paid model.
Frequently asked questions
Is VoiceTyping free?
Yes. Basic voice typing is free. If you enable API-based correction, you use your own provider key.
What is the API key for?
It is optional. Use it for cleanup, rewriting, or correction after dictation; the basic input flow is separate.
Is VoiceTyping open source?
Yes. VoiceTyping is open source. Check the repository and license before redistributing or embedding it.
Does it work in every app?
The desktop workflow is meant for writing across apps, but behavior can still depend on your OS, permissions, and the target app.
Does it guarantee perfect accuracy?
No. Accuracy depends on language, microphone quality, background noise, and the speech or correction provider you use.
