Everyone else caps you by the week because your voice goes to their servers and somebody pays for every minute. Typort runs on your own computer, so there is nothing to meter and nothing to charge you for. No GPU needed. Screen recording and meeting notes are in the same app.
Dictation, screen recording and meeting memory normally cost ~$50/user/month across cloud tools that don't talk to each other. Typort does it all - on your own computer for free, or on the web from any machine. And local mode doesn't even need a GPU - most CPUs run it fine. Local dictation is free forever. NVIDIA's Parakeet engine flies on the chip you already have.
Your chats with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, captured into one memory you can search.
Speak. It types - into any app on Windows or Mac at speaking speed. Keyboards do ~45 words a minute. You talk at 150.
Record your screen and send the link to anyone, and they watch it in their browser. Every 3 seconds is already saved, so a crash can't eat your video.
Say "Typort meeting" - it records, transcribes, saves the transcript to your own disk and pops insights every two minutes. Turn on cloud sync and your meetings become searchable alongside everything else in your vault.

Replacing Typort takes three subscriptions with zero shared context between them. Everything on our servers is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
Local processing costs us nothing, so local is free. The cloud parts are what you pay for.
Not by default. When you dictate or record a meeting, your voice turns into text on your own CPU and the recording stays on your disk. The one way your voice leaves is if you switch to Typort Remote, which turns it into text on our servers instead.
Text is the part worth being precise about. Once you have signed in, some features send text to our servers - never the audio. Polished mode, the default, sends the words you just said for a cleanup pass. Meeting insights and meeting notes send the meeting transcript. Compose and fact check send the text you ask them to work on. Press F10 (Fn+F10 on most Macs) for Raw mode and dictation calls no server at all: the model runs on your CPU and types exactly what you said. Searching your synced vault is the other cloud part, because that index lives on our servers.
Screen recordings are different: with the share link on, which is the default, the video and its sound upload to our servers as you record. One toggle keeps a recording on your computer only.
That choice is the point: install a cloud notetaker and your meetings live on someone else's infrastructure - their terms, their acquisitions, their breaches. Files on your own disk have none of that surface.
No - there's no GPU in the picture at all. Local dictation runs NVIDIA's Parakeet model on your CPU, fast on any modern machine. The Pro web tier runs everything in the cloud on any machine. Same app, pick per device.
Yes. Typort simulates keyboard input, so it works in anything that accepts text. Hold Ctrl + Win to dictate. F9 is there as a fallback for terminals and other tools that grab Ctrl shortcuts first. On a Mac, hold Fn.
Local processing runs on your hardware, so it costs us nothing per user - that's why it's free and stays free. Pro pays for the parts that cost real server money: voice to text, rewriting and share links on our servers, higher vault sync limits, and support.
Wispr Flow is excellent dictation, but your voice always goes to their cloud and costs $15/mo forever. Typort's dictation runs on your own machine for free, and it also records your screen and remembers your meetings - two more subscriptions you don't need.
Granola makes great meeting notes in their cloud. Typort's meeting mode transcribes locally and files transcripts by project on your own disk - and with Pro you can sync them and search them from anywhere.
Dragon is an 8+ GB install from the pre-AI era. Typort is a small app that runs NVIDIA's modern Parakeet model on your CPU and doesn't cost $699.
The audio is recorded and transcribed on your own machine, and the recording, transcript and screenshots are saved to your own disk. The audio stays there unless you have switched to Typort Remote, which transcribes on our servers.
Once you have signed in, the transcript text is sent to our servers to write the insights every two minutes and the notes at the end. Switch Auto-insights off in the meeting bar to stop the two-minute insights. If you choose to sync meetings to your vault, they are stored on our servers too.
Windows 10/11 (64-bit), 8 GB RAM, ~1 GB disk including the speech model. No GPU needed - most CPUs run it fine. On a Mac: Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 14.4 or later.
It's built in Rust, not Electron. No bundled browser runtime, no 400 MB of Chromium - the whole installer is under 85 MB. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and the Linux kernel are all adopting Rust for the same reason: speed with memory safety.
Share links are unlisted URLs - anyone with the exact link can view, nobody can browse or search for them. The share link is on by default; switch it off with one toggle and the recording stays on your computer only.
