Hold a key and talk. iType types your words into whatever app you're in — as you say them, not after. English, Hindi, or the Hinglish you actually speak.
Most dictation apps make you talk into the void and hand you a block of text afterwards. iType streams. You see every word land while you're still speaking — so you catch mistakes early and never lose your train of thought.
Right ⌥ by default — or pick ⌘, ⌃, or fn. The mic opens the instant you press. No window to open, no button to click.
Switch between English and Hindi mid-sentence. Pause, think, continue. Say “scratch that” to delete the last sentence.
Text is typed into the app you're already in at a steady, natural pace — Terminal, Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Notion, VS Code, anywhere with a cursor.
Release the key and you're done. Press again a moment later and it picks up instantly.
Mixed English and Hindi in one breath isn't an edge case here — it's the default. iType understands it, and lets you choose how Hindi gets written.
Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, plus English, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and more — pick any mix.
Add names, products and jargon once — “chaicode”, “Razorpay”, “Warp” — and they come out spelled right.
Write Hindi in script or in Roman Hinglish, whichever the person you're messaging reads faster.
Around a quarter of a second behind your voice. Revisions happen quietly — no flicker, no retyping in front of you.
No plugins, no special text box. If it has a cursor, iType can type into it — including terminals and AI coding tools.
Late-night dictation at a whisper still comes through. Quiet speech is boosted before it's transcribed.
“Um”, “uh”, “hmm” never reach the page. Say “scratch that” to drop the last sentence.
Audio streams only while you hold the key, never in password fields. Nothing is recorded or stored.
Lives quietly in the menu bar. A small glass pill shows what it's hearing, then gets out of the way.
Pay for what you'd actually use. No credit card for the free plan.
Beta users get Pro free until launch. Student pricing available — write to us.
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. It needs microphone and accessibility permission — the second one is how it types into other apps.
No. Speech is transcribed by a cloud model, which is what makes the live, multilingual quality possible. Audio streams only while you're holding the key.
No. Audio is streamed for transcription and discarded. We keep only how many seconds you dictated, for your plan quota.
Android is next — a keyboard with a mic key, so dictation works inside WhatsApp, Gmail and everything else. iPhone follows. Join the beta list and we'll tell you first.
Yes — that's one of our favourite uses. Hold the key in your terminal and describe what you want; it types straight into the prompt.
The macOS beta is rolling out in small batches. Leave your email and we'll send an invite.
