Typeless
Typeless is an AI voice dictation app that converts natural speech into clean, ready-to-send writing inside any application. Press a shortcut, talk normally, and Typeless removes filler words and repetition, corrects mid-sentence changes, formats lists automatically and matches your personal tone and vocabulary. It covers 100+ languages, translates as you speak, and runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
What is Typeless?
Typeless is an AI voice dictation app, made by the company of the same name, that turns naturally spoken words into polished writing inside whatever application you already use. It attacks a simple mismatch: average typing runs at about 45 words per minute while ordinary speech runs closer to 220, yet raw transcription is normally unusable, full of filler words, false starts and unstructured rambling that you then have to clean up by hand.
Typeless closes that gap with an AI layer on top of speech recognition: press a shortcut or open the voice keyboard on mobile, speak in your normal voice, and clean text appears at the cursor in the app you are already using. The Dictate engine removes filler words such as "um" and "you know", deletes repeated words, recognises when you correct yourself mid-sentence and keeps only the final intent, and converts spoken lists, steps and key points into structured text. It also learns your tone and phrasing, and a personal dictionary keeps the names, terms and expressions that matter to you accurate across every app.
Beyond plain dictation, Typeless translates as you speak, so a message dictated in one language can arrive in another with native-sounding phrasing. An Ask anything layer turns the app into an editor: select text and speak a command to make it shorter, longer or different in tone, or to generate a creative response, and read-only text on a website or document can be summarised, explained or translated in place. You can also ask for quick answers and actions, such as checking current information, brainstorming or opening the right page with details already filled in.
Coverage is deliberately broad. Typeless works across Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and its marketing shows it running inside notes apps, browsers, spreadsheets, IDEs, chat apps and PDF editors, from Notion, Obsidian and Bear to Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom, Excel, Cursor and ChatGPT. Support for 100+ languages with automatic detection lets you speak in one language or mix several in a sentence. Whisper mode keeps dictation quiet in shared spaces, and per-app tone settings let the same voice produce a formal work email or a casual message.
Privacy is positioned as a feature rather than a footnote. Typeless states zero cloud data retention, no audio stored in the cloud, no training on your dictation data by Typeless or any third party, and an on-device dictation history that only you can access, with an optional encrypted cloud sync across devices. The company states ISO 27001 certification and GDPR and HIPAA compliance, and publishes a trust center, subprocessor list and data controls. Pricing is freemium: a free plan with limited weekly words and standard accuracy, Pro at $12 per member per month billed yearly or $30 billed monthly with unlimited words, enhanced accuracy, priority access and cloud sync, and an Enterprise tier with SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs and a BAA on custom pricing.

Who is Typeless for?
Typeless is for anyone who writes more than they want to type, and it fits a handful of clear profiles. Knowledge workers and email-heavy professionals. People who live in Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams and Notion use Typeless to dictate replies, meeting notes and status updates at roughly 220 words per minute, and auto-formatting means spoken lists and action items arrive structured rather than as one long wall of text. Developers and technical teams. Engineers writing commit messages, documentation, code comments or pull request descriptions inside Cursor, VS Code, Replit or a terminal lean on the personal dictionary, which keeps project names, APIs and jargon spelled correctly instead of being approximated by a generic transcriber. Students and researchers. Typeless runs a dedicated students page, and the workflow suits lecture notes, essays and reading summaries: select a paragraph in a PDF or on a web page and ask Typeless to summarise, explain or translate it without leaving the document you are reading. Founders, creators and marketers. People who post, publish or send outreach all day draft social posts, newsletters and cold emails by speaking, then ask Typeless to make the draft shorter, longer or different in tone before sending it. Multilingual and global teams. With 100+ languages, automatic language detection and translate-as-you-speak, non-native English speakers write confidently in a second language while casual chat keeps its own register. Support, sales and regulated roles. Because dictation history stays on your device and Typeless states ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliance with no training on your data, it is defensible for patient notes, case summaries and client records. Anyone who types slowly or painfully. People with RSI, dyslexia, or a phone keyboard they dislike can speak instead of typing and still send finished text from iOS or Android.
