Desktop voice input, kept calm
Speak once. Your words land where you are already working.
AriaType is a local-first desktop app for voice typing. Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and text appears at the cursor without copy and paste.
How it works
Three steps, kept close to the work
Hold your hotkey
Start from the keyboard, not from a dashboard. Trigger voice input from the app you are already using.
Speak naturally
Talk at a normal pace while the product keeps recording state and model choice explicit.
Release to insert
When the capture ends, the text is typed back where your cursor already is.
What you control
The homepage stays tied to the real product
Instead of abstract claims, the page shows the actual levers users care about inside the desktop app.
One clear action
The workflow starts from a hotkey and ends at the cursor. No clipboard rituals, no extra panel choreography.
Private by default
Local speech recognition is the baseline. Cloud services stay optional and explicit, not hidden behind convenience.
Built like desktop software
Rounded panels, restrained contrast, steady states, and just enough motion to guide attention.
Product summary
Quiet by design, practical by default
A homepage for real software should read like the product feels: calm, legible, and specific about what happens on your device.
Voice engine
Choose local models first, and only enable cloud services when a specific workflow needs them.
Text polish
Keep raw transcription when you want speed, or apply a writing pass to remove fillers and shape tone.
Download
Try it in the app where you already write.
No account is required. Local processing is the default. The interface stays small so the work can stay central.
