SpeakType runs silently in the background. Speak into any text field — email, Slack, Word, VS Code, browsers, anything. When you pause, your words appear. No button to press. Buy once, use forever.
One payment. No subscription, ever. Free Groq setup wizard included.
Works in any app that accepts keyboard input
Gmail · Outlook · Slack · Teams · Discord · Word · Notepad · VS Code · Chrome · Firefox · WhatsApp Web · Notion · anything else
No Python. No pip. No technical knowledge required.
Double-click the installer. Everything is bundled — Python runtime, all dependencies, watchdog, setup wizard. No prerequisites of any kind.
The setup wizard opens automatically and walks you through console.groq.com — free account, no credit card, under 2 minutes.
Click into any text field and speak. SpeakType transcribes when you pause. It starts automatically at every Windows login — nothing to manage.
This is the architecture, not a marketing line.
My servers are not in that chain — not during setup, not at runtime, not ever. Your audio goes from your computer directly to Groq using your own API key. I never see it, store it, or route it.
No button to hold. No hotkey required to start. SpeakType listens continuously and transcribes when you pause speaking.
Pastes via clipboard — works in any Windows app that accepts keyboard input. Gmail, Slack, VS Code, browsers, Notepad — everything.
Registered in Task Scheduler during install. SpeakType is running every time you open Windows — nothing to remember or launch.
A built-in watchdog checks every 5 minutes and restarts the service if it ever stops. You will never notice a hiccup.
Alt + Shift + V toggles SpeakType off and on. On a video call? One hotkey and it goes quiet.
Groq’s Whisper endpoint is the fastest available. Typical transcription completes in under a second after you stop speaking.
No subscription. No renewal. No price increases after you buy.
Your audio never touches my servers.

No. The installer bundles a full Python runtime. Double-click to install, done. No terminal, no pip, no technical prerequisites.
Yes. Groq’s free tier includes Whisper speech transcription at no cost — no credit card required. Typical dictation usage (emails, messages, notes throughout the day) fits comfortably within it. If you ever need more, Groq’s paid tier is a few dollars per month — paid directly to Groq, not to me.
Yes. Windows SmartScreen shows this warning for any independent software that hasn’t yet accumulated a large download history with Microsoft. Click More info then Run anyway to proceed. This is the standard install path for all indie Windows software.
Yes. SpeakType pastes text using the Windows clipboard, so it works anywhere you can type: browsers, Office apps, Slack, Discord, VS Code, Notepad, command prompts — everything. If you can put a cursor there, SpeakType can type there.
No. Transcription requires a Groq API call, so an internet connection is needed while speaking. The connection is brief — only your audio chunk is sent, nothing else.
Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11, both 64-bit. 32-bit is not supported.
30-day no-questions refund. Email speaktype@fixthatflow.com and I will sort it out the same day.
One payment. No subscription. Your audio stays on your machine.
