Frequently Asked Questions

How should I compare alternatives to Google Docs voice typing?

Test the apps where you need dictation, representative recordings, editing behavior, and configured data routes. OpenTypeless uses a desktop hotkey and separate STT and LLM routes.

Does OpenTypeless work outside of Google Docs?

Yes — that is its main advantage. A system-wide hotkey works in any app: VS Code, Slack, email clients, Office, browsers, and terminals.

How do I compare OpenTypeless and Google voice typing accuracy?

Use the same representative recordings and scoring method for both. Record the selected OpenTypeless STT route and review current Google documentation.

Do I need a Google account to use OpenTypeless?

No. No account required for the free plan. Download, add an STT API key, and start speaking.
