Say it once.
It's typed.
Hold a key, speak, and let go. Lazytype writes clean, punctuated text right where your cursor is — in any app, any language, with realtime preview while you speak.
Your hands are the slow part.
Most people speak about three times faster than they type, and never lose their train of thought hunting for keys. Lazytype turns that speed into finished text.
Average speaking pace comfortably outpaces even fast typists — and you never lose the thread of a thought.
Two minutes to set up. Then you forget it's there.
Install & launch
Download the app. A small microphone sits in your system tray, quietly ready whenever you are.
Choose your plan
Bring your own free Groq key with a one-time license, or subscribe and let us handle the transcription. No key, no setup.
Hold, speak, done
Press and hold the left Ctrl key, say your sentence, and let go. The text lands wherever you were typing — while a live preview shows every word as it arrives.
It types where you're already working.
No window to copy from. Hold the key, talk, and clean text lands straight in the app you're in.
Watch your words land before you finish.
A floating preview bar shows each chunk the moment Lazytype hears it — while you're still speaking. See where you're going, catch a mistake mid-sentence, or just watch your thoughts arrive in real time.
- Words stream in chunk by chunk as you speak
- Catch mistakes before they land in the app
- Final clean text types automatically when you release
- Toggle on or off in tray settings
This quarter we want to focus on
Small app. Surprisingly capable.
Faster than the keyboard
Runs Whisper large-v3-turbo on Groq, roughly 216× real time. A short sentence is back before your hands reach the keys.
See it land in real time.
A floating preview bar shows each chunk as it streams in. Catch a mistake or change direction — while you're still mid-sentence. Final clean text lands when you release the key.
Talk in one language, type in another.
Speak Dutch and get English text straight in your email — no copy-paste, no translation tab. AI translates and cleans up filler words at the same time. Any of 100+ language pairs.
Lives in every app
Not a window you paste from. Text appears in whatever has focus: mail, chat, docs, your editor — or the terminal.
Private by design
Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and never stored. Switch to the on-device engine to work fully offline — no network, no cloud.
Thanks for your

100+ languages
Speak naturally in any of them. Lazytype detects your language automatically, with standout accuracy in English and Dutch.
Fully customizable hotkeys
Choose from Left Ctrl, Right Alt, Ctrl+Shift, F8–F10, and 10+ other combos. Assign different behaviors to each key.
Realtime live preview
A floating bar shows words as they stream in — while you're still speaking. Catch mistakes before they land.
Yours to tune
Full settings dashboard: engine, language, postprocessing, hotkeys, history. One tray-click away, nothing buried.
Context-aware tone
Reads the window around your cursor — email, chat, doc — and adjusts the tone: formal for email, casual for Slack.
Voice commands
Say "scratch that" to undo, "new line" or "new paragraph" to format as you go — hands never leave the keyboard.
One app, three different superpowers.
Assign different AI behaviors to different hotkeys. One key dictates clean text, another translates as you speak, a third reshapes the last thing you wrote.
Dictate
Hold, speak, release. Lazytype transcribes your voice and types clean, punctuated text right where your cursor is.
Translate
Speak in your native language and get translated text instantly — in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, or any target you set.
Command
Hold the key, speak a command like "make it shorter" or "make this formal" — Lazytype rewrites the last dictation. No keyboard, no clipboard.
All three hotkeys are fully configurable in the settings dashboard — choose any key combination you like.

Good questions.
Personal is a one-time €25 license where you bring your own free Groq key, which takes about two minutes to set up. Pro is a subscription where we host the transcription for you, so there's no key and nothing to configure. Both include every feature — realtime preview, voice macros, context-aware tone — and the full 14-day trial.
Realtime preview (added in v1.6) shows your words in a floating bar as you speak — chunk by chunk, before you even stop. You can see where you're going, catch a mistake mid-sentence, or simply watch your thoughts arrive. When you release the key, the final clean text types into your app. You can toggle it on or off in the tray settings.
Voice macros (added in v1.5) let you assign different AI behaviors to different hotkeys. One key can dictate clean text, another can translate as you speak, and a third can run a command on the text you just wrote — like "make this shorter" or "make it formal". Everything is configurable in the settings dashboard.
Yes. Fourteen days, all features, no payment method required to begin. If it doesn't earn a place in your day, you simply stop.
It runs OpenAI's Whisper large-v3-turbo on Groq's inference hardware, around 216 times faster than real time. A few seconds of speech is transcribed in well under a second.
Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and is not stored or reused. If you'd rather nothing leave your machine, switch to the built-in on-device engine and work fully offline.
More than 100, detected automatically. Accuracy is excellent in English and Dutch, and you can have your speech translated into another language as you dictate — or assign a dedicated translate hotkey for instant on-the-fly translation.
Yes — Lazytype is available for both Windows and macOS. Download the .dmg, drag it to Applications, and grant Accessibility, Input Monitoring, and Microphone permission in System Settings once. Same hold-to-talk flow, pastes with Cmd+V.
