TYPERR is a macOS menu bar app that turns your voice into text in any application. It supports dictation, live translation, and AI-powered text assistance in 55 languages.
Press your hotkey (customizable), speak naturally, and the text appears wherever your cursor is. It works in any app — browsers, text editors, chat apps, IDEs.
For the best quality, yes. With an internet connection, TYPERR uses cloud mode for higher accuracy, translation, and smart prompts. Basic dictation also works offline using a local AI model on your Mac.
An OpenAI API key lets TYPERR connect to OpenAI's cloud services for translation and smart prompts. You create it on OpenAI's website. This approach means your data goes directly from your Mac to OpenAI — never through our servers. You control your own spending and privacy.
Very little. Most users spend under $1-2/month even with intensive daily use. Many months cost just pennies. You have full control over your spending through your OpenAI dashboard.
Your OpenAI account must have at least $1 balance for the API key to work. Go to platform.openai.com, navigate to Billing, and add funds. Without a positive balance, API requests will be rejected even if your key is valid.

Yes! 3-day free trial with just your email. No credit card required.
After purchasing, you'll receive a license key by email. Enter it in the app's settings or during onboarding. One license key can be activated on up to 3 Mac devices.
55 languages for dictation and translation — from English and Spanish to Kazakh and Icelandic.
In local mode, all processing happens on your Mac — your voice never leaves the device. In cloud mode, audio is sent directly to OpenAI's API using your own key and processed immediately.
If it has a text field, yes. Safari, Chrome, VS Code, Slack, Telegram, Notes, Pages, and thousands more.
Super Mode is a special mode that generates deeply detailed, comprehensive responses. Use it when you need thorough analysis, detailed prompts, or in-depth answers — like having a personal AI research assistant.
macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later.
