Your first 7 days are unlimited — no account, no card. After that you keep 2,000 dictated words every week, free forever. TypeMic Pro unlocks unlimited dictation on every device you link — $12/month or $120/year. The iPhone and Android keyboards are in early access.

No. TypeMic transcribes on your device and works fully offline — nothing is uploaded, ever, unless you deliberately configure a cloud service with your own account.

All the major ones — Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch. The installer detects your system and sets everything up automatically.

Yes. TypeMic types at the cursor in whatever app has focus — terminals, browsers, IDEs, chat clients. A global hotkey starts and stops recording, and an on-screen waveform shows it is listening.

No. The local models transcribe in real time on a modern CPU. If a supported GPU is present, TypeMic uses it automatically for extra speed.

Cloud dictation tools stream your microphone to their servers. TypeMic does everything on your machine: transcription, AI cleanup, and statistics. No account, no subscription, no audio uploads — and it works in airplane mode.
