OpenTypeless

What is OpenTypeless?

OpenTypeless is a free, open-source AI voice input application for desktop that transforms natural speech into polished text across any application. Designed for productivity, it allows users to dictate in 99 supported languages, with real-time transcription powered by your preferred speech-to-text (STT) provider. The optional AI polishing feature refines grammar, punctuation, tone, and structure, and can adapt formatting based on the active app profile—whether you're writing an email, chat message, document, or technical note. With 71 built-in profiles and local app classification, OpenTypeless intelligently matches your dictation to the appropriate context, ensuring output that fits the intended use. For unknown apps, it falls back to a general profile. Users can configure their own STT and AI polish providers using their API keys, supporting 11 LLM providers and avoiding vendor lock-in. Key features include customizable shortcuts for Dictate, Ask, and Translate actions, with up to three bindings per action. Multi-language support allows auto-detection or an ordered target list of up to five languages. The app works seamlessly with leading AI providers and offers a simple three-step workflow: press a global hotkey, speak naturally, and watch as your voice is transcribed and polished before being typed at the cursor. OpenTypeless is ideal for professionals who need to quickly generate written content, from emails and reports to code comments and technical documentation. It enhances accessibility for users with typing difficulties and boosts productivity for anyone who prefers speaking over typing. Technical details: the app uses local processing for app classification, ensuring privacy, and supports BYOK (bring your own key) for both STT and AI polish. It is compatible with major desktop platforms and integrates with popular writing surfaces. OpenTypeless is not endorsed by third-party companies but works with their apps. With its open-source nature, users can audit, modify, and contribute to the codebase. Whether you're a developer, writer, or busy professional, OpenTypeless offers a powerful, customizable voice input solution that adapts to your workflow.
