Best for: Formatted dictation across computers and phones
Strengths
What it does well
Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android apps support dictation across computers and phones, with more than 100 languages and real-time translation.
The free plan includes 8,000 words each week, a personal dictionary, translation, and standard accuracy without requiring a separate trial.
Filler-word removal, self-correction, list formatting, per-app tone, and Ask Anything voice commands support rewriting, shortening, or expanding dictated text.
Limitations
Where it falls short
There is no offline mode: audio and context are processed on cloud servers, so dictation requires an internet connection.
Free use is capped at 8,000 words weekly; unlimited words and team management require paid access through Pro or Enterprise.
Pro costs $144 per member annually or $30 per member on monthly billing, and there is no lifetime option or Linux app.
Data handling
Privacy check
Training
The policy says dictation data is never used for model training by Typeless or third parties.
History sync
Optional History cloud sync stores encrypted history text, while voice recordings and screen context are not stored.
Fit
Who should pick it
Choose Typeless if mobile coverage, translation, and automatic formatting are central to your dictation routine. The free plan suits use within its weekly word allowance, provided cloud processing fits your needs.
Our product
How WhisperJot compares
WhisperJot is private by default, with Jot Local and Jot Local Pro processing speech on-device. Local engines work fully offline after the first model download. WhisperJot Local ($5/month) and WhisperJot Pro ($99/year) both include unlimited local dictation, custom vocabulary, voice commands, and local history on stable Mac and Windows apps plus a Linux beta. Jot Cloud is our optional cloud engine on WhisperJot Pro: it is opt-in, runs only while selected, and audio is never stored on our servers. WhisperJot has no free tier; the browser demo offers a short dictation before purchase.
Questions
Typeless FAQ
Is Typeless private?
Typeless processes audio and context on cloud servers, discarding them when transcription is returned. Its policy excludes dictation data from training by Typeless or third parties and says voice recordings and screen context are not stored. Optional History cloud sync does store encrypted text, so read the Typeless privacy policy when deciding whether to enable history syncing.
Does Typeless work offline?
No. Typeless's own comparison says an internet connection is required, and there is no offline mode. Transcription runs on cloud servers. WhisperJot's Jot Local and Jot Local Pro engines work fully offline after a one-time model download (about 500 MB on Mac, around 600 MB on Windows and Linux), so you can keep dictating without a network on supported Mac, Windows, and Linux systems.
Does Typeless store my audio?
Typeless's privacy policy says audio and context are processed in real time on their cloud servers and discarded once the transcription is returned, with no voice recordings or screen context stored. It also says dictation data is never used for model training by Typeless or any third party. Optional History cloud sync stores history text in encrypted form. Zero cloud retention is the default for audio.
