The case for talking
Your hands are the slow part.
Most people speak about three times faster than they type, and never lose their train of thought hunting for keys. Lazytype turns that speed into finished text.

How it works
Two minutes to set up. Then you forget it's there.
01
Install & launch
Download the app. A small microphone sits in your system tray, quietly ready whenever you are.
02
Choose your plan
Bring your own free Groq key with a one-time license, or subscribe and let us handle transcription. No key, no setup.
03
Hold, speak, done
Press and hold left Ctrl, say your sentence, and let go. Clean text lands wherever you were typing — with a live preview as it arrives.
In your apps
It types where you're already working.
No window to copy from. Hold the key, talk, and clean text lands straight in the app you're in.

Hi team,
This quarter we want to focus on
What's inside
Small app. Surprisingly capable.
01 / 05
Faster than the keyboard
Runs Whisper large-v3-turbo on Groq, roughly 216× real time. A short sentence is back before your hands reach the keys.
02 / 05 · v1.6
See it land in real time
A floating preview bar shows each chunk as it streams in. Catch a mistake or change direction while you’re still mid-sentence.
03 / 05
Talk in one language, type in another
Speak Dutch and get English text straight in your email. AI translates and cleans filler words at the same time across 100+ pairs.
04 / 05
Lives in every app
Not a window you paste from. Text appears in whatever has focus: mail, chat, docs, your editor — or the terminal.
05 / 05
Private by design
Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and never stored. Switch to the on-device engine to work fully offline.

FAQ
Good questions.
What’s the difference between the two plans?
Personal is a one-time €25 license where you bring your own free Groq key (about two minutes to set up). Pro is a subscription where we host transcription — no key, nothing to configure. Both include every feature and the full 14-day trial.
What is realtime preview?
Realtime preview (v1.6) shows your words in a floating bar as you speak — chunk by chunk, before you stop. When you release the key, final clean text types into your app. Toggle it in tray settings.
What are voice macros?
Assign different AI behaviors to different hotkeys. One key dictates, another translates as you speak, a third runs a command like “make this shorter.” Fully configurable in settings.
Is there really a free trial?
Yes. Fourteen days, all features, no payment method required. If it doesn’t earn a place in your day, you simply stop.
How is it so fast?
It runs OpenAI’s Whisper large-v3-turbo on Groq’s inference hardware, around 216× real time. A few seconds of speech is transcribed in well under a second.
Is my audio private?
Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and is not stored or reused. Prefer nothing leave your machine? Switch to the built-in on-device engine and work fully offline.
Which languages does it handle?
More than 100, detected automatically. Accuracy is excellent in English and Dutch, and you can translate into another language as you dictate — or assign a dedicated translate hotkey.
Does it work on macOS?
Yes — macOS and Windows. Download the .dmg, drag to Applications, grant Accessibility, Input Monitoring, and Microphone once. Same hold-to-talk flow.
