What LocalType does
A keyboard you can type on, with a microphone key that turns speech into text without your voice leaving the phone.
The parts that matter
Voice typing in the keyboard
Tap the microphone while you are typing and carry on speaking. The text lands in the field you were already in, in whichever app you are using.
Speech recognition on your device
The model runs locally, so your audio does not need to be sent to a transcription service.
Works offline
Once a speech model is downloaded, transcription works with no connection at all.
Eighteen languages
With automatic recognition of which supported language you are speaking, handled by a single multilingual model.
A choice of speech models
Trade speed against accuracy and storage, with a suggestion based on what your phone can handle.
No account, no ads, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for, no advertising, and no behavioural tracking inside the product.
How dictating fits into typing
No switching apps, no copying and pasting, no waiting for a separate screen to open.
The keyboard itself
LocalType is a keyboard first: you can use it all day without ever touching the microphone. Everything below works with the connection switched off, the same as the voice typing.
