What is Talk to Type?

Speak a full, nuanced prompt instead of typing a few keywords — the more complete the context, the better your AI's output.

Talk To Type turns your voice into text on Windows and macOS, in two ways.

1. Push-to-talk dictation. Hold a hotkey (default Alt+Q), speak, release, and the text appears at your cursor in any app: email, ChatGPT, Slack, Word, your browser. One key (F8) switches between two languages. Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish are supported.

2. Meeting recording without a bot. It records your microphone and your system audio locally (WASAPI loopback), capturing both sides of any Teams, Zoom, Meet or Webex call without sending a "bot has joined" notice. You get a live transcript and a one-click AI summary with decisions and action items.

Key features

  • Inline dictation anywhere you can type
  • Local meeting recording, no meeting bot
  • One-click AI summaries (overview, decisions, action items)
  • Live checklists that tick off as topics come up
  • Custom dictionary for names, brands and jargon
  • Audio upload (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG) for the same transcript and summary
  • Premium transcript upgrade with speaker labels (Pro plan)

Privacy first. Recordings stay on your computer. Audio is sent only briefly to a speech-to-text provider (Groq by default), then discarded. No telemetry on your content.

Platform. Windows 10 and 11, plus macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon.

Talk To Type is a privacy-friendly alternative to cloud meeting bots and handles dictation and meeting capture in one app.
