No Type turns speech into text for your apps. Press a shortcut, say what you have in mind, and get text in the focused field. Choose local or cloud models, shape the output with writing modes, and make the little recorder your own.

Free for personal and professional use. Supporting the author is optional; every feature is available without a donation. Cloud providers charge separately under their own pricing.

How it works

Choose a shortcut, dictate, and get text in the focused field. Use Option on macOS or a shortcut such as Ctrl + Alt + D on Windows.

Hold your shortcut while speaking, or press it to start and stop. Change the shortcut and recording behavior in settings. On macOS, text insertion needs Accessibility permission; without it, the result is copied to the clipboard.

Windows defaults to Right Ctrl: hold it while speaking and release to finish. Updates keep your saved shortcut.

Features

Feature What you can do
Local and cloud models Download a speech model to your computer or connect a cloud provider using your own API key.
Writing modes Set instructions for messages, emails, notes, and tasks; enable enhancement, shortening, or translation.
Empowerments Append your own instruction to one dictation, choose a color and preview its recorder effect.
Personal dictionary Add names, terms, and your own corrections.
Snippets Keep frequently used text fragments at hand.
History and audio Revisit dictations. Audio is retained for the ten latest recognition failures without text so you can retry them.
Insights Explore word counts, speaking speed, activity, and dictation usage across apps.
English and Russian UI Select a language or follow your system language.

Writing modes

Illustrative example: one dictation becomes a short message, a work email, or a task list, depending on the writing mode.

A mode defines what happens to your transcript. Edit its instructions to remove repetition, preserve your tone, add paragraphs, or translate the text. Choose a local or cloud text model to process it.

The diagram uses illustrative text examples, not model benchmark results.

Your instructions for the text

Prompt editor with example Russian instructions to remove fillers, preserve tone, add paragraphs, and avoid inventing facts or promises.

How you use dictation

No Type insights: speaking speed, corrections, word count, usage by app, and an activity calendar. Demo data.

Recorder

Four No Type recorder appearances: lavender Prism, green Aurora, a pixel companion, and a heart in response to petting.

Pick waves or a pixel companion, adjust the size, and choose a palette. The robot reacts when you pet it with your pointer. Place the recorder in a floating bubble or along the top edge of your screen.

Watch the top-edge recorder in motion Animation of the recorder opening along the top edge. On a Mac with a notch, the robot sits beside the cutout; on Windows, it sits in the center. A floating-recorder size control is shown below.

Download and get started

Build 0.1.12

This update adds a recorder preview state wheel, refined materials and transitions, a Graphite palette and simpler hidden-page navigation. The original source and documentation are now available under Apache License 2.0. Updates preserve your library, preferences and saved credentials.

Platform Requirements Installer
macOS macOS 13 or later · Apple Silicon Download DMG
Windows Windows 10/11 · x64 Download EXE

The Windows local text-model runtime requires AVX2. This release has no installers for Intel Mac, Windows ARM, or Linux. Find the newest version on the releases page.

  1. Install the app. On Mac, open the DMG and drag No Type to Applications. On Windows, run the EXE and follow the installer.
  2. Allow microphone access. On macOS, also allow Accessibility for text insertion.
  3. Choose speech recognition. Download a local speech model inside the app, or connect a cloud provider with your own API key.
  4. Set a shortcut and try dictation. Focus a text field, press the shortcut, and say a couple of sentences.
Installation and update notes

The macOS build is signed with Apple Development and has not yet been notarized. The Windows installer does not yet have an Authenticode publisher certificate. Your operating system may display a warning during the first installation. See the 0.1.12 release notes for details and limitations.

Windows Whisper uses a compatible GPU through Vulkan and retains CPU fallback when a GPU is unavailable. The runtime is included in the installer; no SDK installation is needed. Builds, recognition and the installer are tested in CI. Recognition on an RTX 3050 is checked separately; interactive installation and text delivery on physical Windows hardware remain unverified.

Check for updates in Settings → General → App updates. Updater packages are signed separately; updater signatures do not replace Apple notarization or a Windows publisher certificate. The 0.1.12 update preserves your library, settings, and saved credentials.

The .app.tar.gz, .sig, and latest.json files serve the updater. Use the DMG or EXE in the table above for your first installation.

Questions

Do I need internet? Where does my dictation go?

Local models need to be downloaded first. Local speech recognition processes audio on your computer. For fully local text processing, select a local text model too, or turn enhancement and translation off.

When you choose a cloud model, audio or text is sent to the selected provider. Cloud services require internet and your API key; the provider sets its pricing and data handling terms.

Usage statistics are optional and require your consent during setup or in Settings. They include activity, chosen themes and languages, known-model usage, dictionary/snippet/mode counts and fixed error categories. Audio, dictation text, collection contents, API keys and raw error messages are excluded. Disabling sharing clears the queue and requests deletion of the installation’s server data when connected.

Is No Type free and open source?

Third-party dependencies retain their own licenses and notices, available in Settings → General → License and notices. See also the third-party notices.

How do I report a bug or suggest an idea?

Open an Issue with the No Type version, OS version, selected model, and steps to reproduce. Include a screenshot or the exact error message when useful. Remove personal data and API keys before posting.

For diagnostics, enable Settings → General → Diagnostics → Developer mode, reproduce the error, then save the logs through Console → Export logs. Attach the TXT file to your bug report.

Thanks to @redheadesign for helping improve the interface.

No-tipe-releases
Что это такое?No Type — бесплатное десктоп-приложение, которое превращает вашу речь в текст прямо в том приложении, с которым вы работаете: нажимаете горячую клавишу, говорите — и слова появляются в активном текстовом поле.
Это десктоп-приложение или браузерный инструмент?Это нативное десктоп-приложение для macOS и Windows, которое вставляет надиктованный текст прямо в приложение в фокусе, а не веб-страница и не браузерное расширение.
Как его установить и начать диктовать?Установите приложение (перетащите DMG в Applications на Mac или запустите EXE на Windows), разрешите доступ к микрофону (а на macOS — также к Универсальному доступу для вставки текста), выберите локальную или облачную модель распознавания речи, затем задайте горячую клавишу и начинайте говорить в активное текстовое поле.
Нужен ли API-ключ для распознавания речи?Только если хотите облачное распознавание: вместо этого можно скачать локальную модель речи, которая работает целиком на вашем компьютере — без аккаунта и ключей.
Какие конфигурации пока не поддерживаются?В этом релизе нет установщика для Intel Mac, Windows на ARM и Linux; сборка для macOS не подписана нотаризацией, а установщик Windows пока без сертификата издателя, поэтому система может показать предупреждение при первом запуске.
На каком железе это работает?macOS нужна версия 13 или новее на Apple Silicon, а для Windows — Windows 10 или 11 на x64; локальная модель речи на Windows дополнительно требует поддержку AVX2.
Зачем нужны режимы письма?Режимы письма — это наборы инструкций, которые применяются к расшифровке, например для сообщений, писем или заметок: убрать повторы, сохранить ваш стиль, добавить абзацы или перевести текст — с помощью локальной или облачной текстовой модели.
Можно ли настроить экранную панель записи?Да, можно выбрать визуализацию «волной» или «пиксельным компаньоном», настроить её размер и цветовую палитру, а также разместить в виде плавающего пузырька или вдоль верхнего края экрана.
No Type действительно бесплатный?Да, все функции работают без оплаты; поддержать автора на Boosty можно по желанию — никаких дополнительных возможностей это не открывает.
Для диктовки на Windows нужна отдельная видеокарта?Нет, сборка для Windows использует Vulkan-совместимую видеокарту для Whisper, если она есть, но при её отсутствии автоматически переключается на процессор.
