AirTypes

AirTypes provides offline voice‑to‑text dictation for Linux and macOS, allowing users to speak naturally, hold a configurable hotkey, and have the transcribed text inserted at the cursor in any application. The software processes audio locally on the CPU, removes filler words, corrects grammar, and can apply a selected tone, all without sending data to external services. Users can also route the transcribed text to a personal AI model for further enhancement, keeping all processing on the device.

The tool is aimed at anyone who types regularly—developers, students, writers, professionals, and AI‑power users—who want to increase productivity by speaking instead of typing. It works system‑wide, supporting a range of applications such as code editors, email clients, chat platforms, and browsers. The experience is designed to be frictionless: install once, hold the hotkey, speak, and release to have polished text appear instantly.

AirTypes emphasizes privacy and speed, offering a 100 % offline workflow with no cloud connectivity, no account requirements, and no network traffic. The application claims to enable roughly three times faster output than manual typing, while automatically cleaning up speech artifacts and applying tone adjustments.
