Private toggle and push-to-talk dictation for Mac
Private AI-powered dictation for your Mac.
Your voice is processed on your Mac, then Liptyper pastes cleaned-up text where your cursor is. Press a keyboard shortcut to dictate; if your mouse has a customizable extra button, that can work too.
Private beta is open by invitation while final Mac release testing finishes.
For everyday text fields
Keyboard shortcut first

Built for the one moment that repeats all day.
Most voice tools want to become a platform. Liptyper is deliberately smaller: a private way to put words into the field already in front of you.
No account. No cloud.
Speech recognition and cleanup run on your Apple Silicon Mac. No cloud transcription service, no account just to dictate, no subscription.
Types where you are
Liptyper pastes cleaned-up text into the app that already has your cursor, instead of making you copy from a separate workspace.
Tap or hold to dictate
Tap once to start and stop, or hold for push-to-talk. If your mouse has a customizable extra button, it can trigger the same shortcut.
Fix simple slips aloud
Say an explicit correction like "wait, no, actually 5 30," and Liptyper can clean the obvious slip to 5:30.
Paste it again
If another app steals focus or text lands in the wrong place, click the right field and paste the last dictation again from the menu bar.
Why this instead?
Not a voice platform. Not a transcription suite.
Cloud voice apps
Great for rich assistants and context-heavy workflows. Usually account-based, subscription-based, and cloud processed.
Transcription suites
Great for files, meetings, imports, exports, and archives. More product than you need when you just want a sentence pasted.
Liptyper
A focused Mac utility for private live dictation into the field you are already using.
The practical difference
Built around the cursor, not around a dashboard.
Voice stays localNo cloud transcription pipeline for everyday dictation.
Trigger is physicalUse a keyboard shortcut, or a customizable extra mouse button, so dictation becomes muscle memory.
Text lands where you areLiptyper pastes into the focused app instead of making you copy from another workspace.
Price is simpleOne-time purchase for a narrow Mac utility, not another monthly writing subscription.
