Native Mac Dictation Workflow

Speak Anywhere on Mac.

TypeFree lets you dictate, clean up, and insert text into the app you are already using — with a calm native macOS workflow and flexible local or cloud speech engines.

  • Native macOS app
  • Local-first options
  • Works with your current apps

Capture

Capture Ideas Instantly

Turn rough thoughts into text before they disappear, without switching windows or opening a separate editor.

Insert

Write Into Any App

Use one hotkey, speak naturally, and send text straight into the field you are already focused on.

Polish

Polish Before You Send

Clean up phrasing, improve tone, or rewrite the result when raw transcription is not enough.

How It Works

A Fast Loop From Thought to Finished Text.

TypeFree removes the handoff between speaking, editing, and pasting. Start from wherever you work, then decide how polished the output should be.

01

Press Your Hotkey

Trigger capture from the menu bar with a shortcut that fits your Mac workflow.

02

Speak Naturally

Transcribe in real time with local Whisper or a connected cloud engine, depending on how you want to work.

03

Insert Ready-to-Use Text

Paste the transcript directly or run optional cleanup and rewriting before it lands in your current app.

Works Where You Work

From Email Drafts to Chat Replies, TypeFree Fits the Text Box You Are Already In.

The point is not another writing destination. The point is getting words into the tools you already use, with less friction and fewer mode switches.

Email

Reply While Your Thought Is Still Fresh

Draft responses in Mail or Gmail without pausing to reshape every sentence by hand.

Notes

Turn Rough Ideas Into Usable Notes

Capture meeting takeaways, research fragments, and post-call thoughts before they fade.

Docs

Move Faster Through First Drafts

Use speech for structure and flow, then refine tone only where it matters.

Chat

Send Clean Replies Without Breaking Pace

Respond in Slack, Discord, or internal tools with something clearer than raw dictation.

Browser Forms

Fill Fields With Less Stop-and-Start Typing

Use TypeFree inside textareas, admin tools, and everyday web inputs that normally slow you down.

Bilingual Ideas

Switch Languages Without Changing Your Workflow

Keep the same capture flow when your notes, replies, or drafts move across languages.

Native by Design

Built for macOS Habits, Not Adapted From the Web.

Menu Bar Ready

Stay one gesture away from capture instead of managing another always-open window.

Global Hotkeys

Start and stop from anywhere, with shortcuts that feel at home on your Mac.

Direct Insertion

Use accessibility-powered paste automation when you want text to land exactly where you are working.

Multi-Language UI

Keep the interface approachable across teams and personal setups without changing the core flow.

Local or Cloud

Choose the Setup That Matches Your Tradeoffs.

TypeFree does not force one speech stack. Start local if privacy and control matter most, or connect cloud services when convenience and zero model management matter more.

On Device

Keep It Local With Whisper

  • On-device speech recognition
  • Offline-friendly workflow
  • Clear model ownership and storage

Connected

Use Cloud Speech When Speed of Setup Matters

  • Support for multiple ASR providers
  • Less local runtime setup
  • Easy to switch as your needs change

Start simple, switch later. The workflow stays familiar even when the engine changes.

From Raw Speech to Better Writing

Do Not Just Transcribe. Finish the Sentence Properly.

Some moments need verbatim capture. Others need cleanup, tone shaping, or a stronger rewrite before the words leave your Mac.

Before

Clean Up

Fix punctuation, sentence boundaries, and obvious rough edges.

Turn a spoken thought into a tighter draft without starting over.

Make the result sound calmer, clearer, or more professional when context demands it.

Choose the Level of Privacy, Control, and Automation That Fits Your Workflow.

Review past dictation sessions on your device without turning the product into another cloud workspace.

Use external providers only when you decide the tradeoff is worth it.

TypeFree explains why microphone, accessibility, and input monitoring access matter for the workflow.

Useful in the Small Moments That Add Up All Day.

Quick Replies During Meetings

Answer a message or record a thought without dropping out of the conversation around you.

Turning Rough Thoughts Into Clean Notes

Speak first, shape later, and keep the thinking process moving.

Drafting Emails Without Context Switching

Stay in the app you are already using instead of bouncing between tools.

Capturing Bilingual Ideas Faster

Keep momentum when language changes are part of how you think and work.
