Free, open-source desktop voice typing that transcribes speech, optionally polishes text, and inserts app-aware writing across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What it does
OpenTypeless is a free, open-source desktop voice-input app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Press a global hotkey, speak naturally, and let the app transcribe your words into the active text field. An optional AI polishing step can remove filler, correct grammar and punctuation, improve structure, adjust tone, and format the result for the writing surface you are using. Local app classification can map the same spoken update to profiles for email, chat, documents, or technical notes.
The workflow is configurable. Users can bring their own speech-to-text and language-model provider keys, choose among supported hosted or local routes, switch providers from settings, and keep control of provider billing and data handling. OpenTypeless supports 99 languages with auto-detection or an ordered target list, a custom dictionary for names and technical vocabulary, and configurable shortcuts for dictation, Ask Anything, and translation. Ask Anything turns one spoken question into a single model request and displays the answer without opening a chat thread.
The free tier includes unlimited BYOK usage, the desktop app’s core voice features, 99 languages, a custom dictionary, and a global hotkey. Pro adds hosted cloud usage, 100,000 cloud words per month, cloud backup and restore, scene packs, and priority support for $4.99/month. It suits developers, writers, remote workers, students, and anyone who drafts text across desktop apps by voice.
