About Voice Typer — local voice to text

Voice Typer lets you dictate into any text box in Chrome. Press your keyboard shortcut to start recording (you'll hear a beep), speak, then press it again to stop. Your speech is transcribed and typed in at your cursor. Everything runs locally on your device using OpenAI's open-source Whisper model (via Transformers.js). There is no cloud service, no account, no API key, and no cost. After a one-time model download, it works fully offline. Features • Customizable keyboard shortcut (start/stop with the same key) • Start and stop sounds so you know when it's listening • Types directly at your cursor; also copies to your clipboard • Choose model size (Tiny / Base / Small) for speed vs. accuracy • English-only or multilingual models • Uses your GPU (WebGPU) when available, with automatic CPU fallback • Private by design — your audio and text never leave your device How to use 1. Click into any text box on a web page. 2. Press your shortcut (default Ctrl+Shift+Space) — a beep means it's recording. 3. Speak, then press the shortcut again. 4. Your words are typed in. Note: works in web pages inside Chrome. It cannot type into Chrome's address bar or settings pages. In Google Docs' main editor it copies to your clipboard (paste with Ctrl+V).
