Press. Speak.
Watch it type.
TypeMate is a fast, private dictation app for developers, AI power users, and heavy typers. Hold the shortcut on your computer or tap the mic on your phone, speak, and your words land in whatever field has focus, in 28 languages, with no cloud in between.
Free to use. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad.
How it works
Why TypeMate
Built for people who type for a living
Prompting agents, writing commits, replying in chat. Speaking is faster than typing, and TypeMate makes it feel native to the desktop.
Private by design
Every word is transcribed on your own CPU. Audio never leaves your machine, and there are no accounts, uploads, or cloud APIs in the path.
Fast where it counts
Every language runs on the most accurate local model available for that language. A spoken English sentence lands as text in about a second on an ordinary laptop.
Works in any app
IDE, terminal, browser, chat, AI agent prompt. Whatever field has focus receives the text directly, no copy-paste dance.
Noise suppression built in
A local denoiser cleans up fans, keyboards, and background chatter before transcription, so accuracy holds up outside quiet rooms.
Insights, kept local
Words dictated, the typing time your voice replaced, and the last two weeks day by day. Computed on your device like everything else, never reported anywhere.
A truly quiet overlay
The listening indicator is built to never take input focus. Your cursor stays in your work while you talk, which is the whole point.
28 languages, curated
English plus 24 European languages, and dedicated fine-tuned models for Hindi, Hinglish, and Tamil. Every language ships only after it proves itself.
Free to use
No account, no subscription, no usage caps. Install it once and dictate as much as you like.
Supported languages
28 languages, each on a model that earned its place.
No model picker to fiddle with. English runs on a model chosen for how it handles accents, Hindi, Hinglish and Tamil on dedicated fine-tunes, and 24 European languages on one multilingual model that recognises the language for you. All local.
