Now with Pro cloud transcription

Stop Typing. Start Talking.

Voice dictation that works everywhere on your Mac. Press a hotkey, speak, and watch your words appear. Local AI for privacy. Pro cloud for speed and accuracy.

Why Stop Typing?

Built for developers, writers, and anyone who thinks faster than they type.

Works Everywhere

Dictate into any app — Slack, VS Code, email, browser, terminal. If you can type there, you can talk there.

Privacy First

Free tier runs entirely on your Mac. No audio leaves your device. No cloud, no data collection.

Auto-detect your language or pin a specific one. Supports over 100 languages out of the box.

Smart Vocabulary

Pro models understand technical jargon — SwiftUI, GitHub, Kubernetes, and more.

Custom Hotkey

Set any keyboard shortcut to start and stop recording. Default is Fn (Globe key).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free tier really free?

Yes, completely. The free tier uses local AI models that run on your Mac. No account required, no limits, no ads. You only pay if you want Pro cloud transcription.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free uses on-device models (good accuracy, works offline). Pro uses Groq's cloud API for faster transcription, higher accuracy, and better handling of technical terms. Pro includes a 14-day free trial.

Does my audio get stored?

Never. Free tier processes audio entirely on your Mac. Pro tier sends audio to our secure cloud API for transcription only — audio is never stored after processing.

Can I cancel my Pro subscription?

Yes, cancel anytime from your dashboard. You'll keep Pro access until the end of your billing period, then you'll be downgraded to Free.

What macOS version do I need?

Stop Typing requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
