Voice to text for your whole computer

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, in any language — or translated into another — a moment after you stop.

The case for talking

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.

Typing~40
words per minute, average
Speaking~130
words per minute, comfortable pace

Average speaking pace comfortably outpaces even fast typists — and you never lose the thread of a thought.

How it works

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.

In your apps

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.

What's inside

Small app. Surprisingly capable.

01 / 04

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.

02 / 04

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.

03 / 04

Lives in every app

Not a window you paste from. Text appears in whatever has focus: mail, chat, docs, your editor.

04 / 04

Private by design

Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and never stored. Switch to the on-device engine to work fully offline.

FAQ

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 and the full 14-day trial.

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.

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.
