Context-aware AI voice typing that outruns your keyboard on macOS
Every sentence is refined by AI before it lands. You set a length threshold, so short phrases stay raw while longer thoughts get cleaned up automatically.
Assign professional, casual, formal, creative or concise tones to individual apps, or create custom profiles so one voice never has to fit every context.
Correct yourself naturally inside a sentence — fix an email address, restate a number — or append a spoken instruction so GHOSTYPE reshapes the text for the recipient.
Configure per-app auto-send, including Cmd+Enter, and assign different hold-to-speak shortcuts for polish, translate and quick memo actions.
Free open-source dictation that runs speech-to-text on your own machine
Press a configurable hotkey and your words are typed into whichever app has focus — chat clients, editors, browsers and terminals alike.
Run on-device models such as Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet for full privacy, or switch to cloud transcription with your own provider API keys.
Spoken instructions like "clean this up" or "draft an email" let the model restructure and polish the raw transcript before it lands.
Names, jargon and technical terms are auto-learned from your corrections so recurring vocabulary stops being misheard.
