Voice typing app FAQ
Straight answers about how VoiceTyping works, where you can use it, what happens to your voice and what you pay. If your question is not here, write to [email protected].
Getting started
What is VoiceTyping?
VoiceTyping is a voice typing app with AI cleanup. You talk the way you normally talk, and it gives you clean, punctuated text in the right tone for email, chat or documents, ready to send.
Do I need to install anything?
No. VoiceTyping works in your browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android. You can install it as a web app to your Dock, taskbar or home screen, and add the extension for Chrome or Edge to dictate straight into text fields on the web.
How do I start dictating?
Open the app, hold the microphone button or press your shortcut, talk, and let go. The cleaned text appears in a couple of seconds. With the extension, click the microphone in any text field or hold the hotkey.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. The demo on the homepage lets you record up to 15 seconds and see your cleaned text without an account and without a card.
What do I need for good results?
A working microphone and a quiet enough room. The built-in microphone of a laptop or phone is fine. A headset helps in open offices.
Accuracy and languages
How is this different from built-in dictation?
Built-in dictation writes down every word, including fillers and restarts, and often misses punctuation. VoiceTyping removes fillers, repetitions and false starts, fixes self-corrections, adds punctuation and paragraphs and applies a style for the app you are writing in.
How accurate is it with names and jargon?
Everyday words come out very well. For client names, product names and industry terms, add them to your dictionary once and VoiceTyping spells them right every time.
What languages can I dictate in?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Dutch and more. The language is detected automatically, so you can switch between languages from one dictation to the next.
Can it translate while I speak?
Yes, on Pro and Team. Speak in one language and get the cleaned text in another, for example dictate in English and send the message in Spanish.
Can I edit the text with my voice?
Yes. Say "new paragraph", "make it a list", "make it shorter", "more formal", "delete last sentence" or "translate to Spanish" and the text changes in place.
Apps and devices
Which apps does it work in?
With the extension for Chrome and Edge, any text field on the web, including Gmail, Outlook on the web, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, LinkedIn and ChatGPT. Everywhere else, dictate in the web app and copy or share the text with one tap.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes, in Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or installed as a web app. The extension for Chrome and Edge adds a hotkey and a microphone button to web text fields. See dictation for Mac and voice to text for Windows.
Which keyboard shortcuts are there?
Hold to talk, toggle recording on and off, insert the last result again and undo the last insert. You can change every shortcut in settings.
How does it pick the style?
The extension chooses the style by the site you are on, for example Email in Gmail, Chat in Slack and Document in Google Docs or Notion. You can switch the style at any time, and on Pro and Team you can create your own.
Privacy
What happens to my recordings?
Your audio is processed to produce text and deleted right after transcription. It is never stored as a recording and never used to train models.
Who can see my text?
Only you, and on the Team plan the shared dictionary and styles are visible to your team. Your text history is encrypted at rest. You can switch history off, and one click deletes everything.
Does the extension read my pages?
No. The extension only acts in the text field where you start a dictation, to insert your text there. It does not read or send the content of the pages you visit. More on privacy and security.
Plans and billing
How much does it cost?
Personal is 15 USD a month or 7 USD a month billed yearly. Pro is 29 USD a month or 14 USD a month billed yearly. Team is 49 USD per seat a month or 24 USD per seat a month billed yearly, from 3 seats. See pricing.
What is an AI minute?
One minute of recorded speech, transcribed, cleaned and styled. Personal includes 400 minutes a month, Pro 900 and Team 1,500 per seat, each with a daily cap.
What happens if I run out of minutes?
Dictation pauses until the next day or the next billing month. You can move to a higher plan at any time. There are no top-ups or credits.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, from your account. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for and does not renew.
Do you give refunds?
Payments are final. We refund only a double charge, a charge you did not authorize, or a period when the service did not work at all. See the refund policy.
Teams
Can my team share a dictionary and styles?
Yes. On the Team plan the admin sets up a shared dictionary and shared styles, so everyone spells product and client names the same way and writes in the same tone.
How do I add or remove people?
The admin invites members by email and removes them from the admin panel. Access ends the moment a member is removed. Learn more about dictation software for teams.
Do you send invoices to companies?
Yes. Team accounts get invoices issued to the company with your billing details.
