Documentation - Setup & Configuration
Step-by-step guides to set up OpenTypeless, configure STT and LLM providers, customize hotkeys, and get the most out of your voice input workflow.
The OpenTypeless documentation covers installation on Windows, macOS, and Linux; configuration of speech-to-text and text-polishing providers; hotkeys; dictionaries; prompt templates; and building from source. Provider guides explain how to connect Deepgram, OpenAI Whisper, Groq Whisper, GLM-4-Voice, AssemblyAI, and SiliconFlow. For local or self-hosted STT, configure a Custom Whisper-compatible endpoint. Ollama and LM Studio are local LLM options for text polishing only. Review the setup page for every endpoint in your chosen workflow.

Fast Answers
Short routing answers for setup, provider, quota, and troubleshooting intent.
Which docs should I read first?
Start with Getting Started, then the Provider Index, then Ask Anything setup if you want one-off voice questions.
Where do I fix Ask Anything timeout or no popup?
Use the Ask Anything troubleshooting guide, then check Windows microphone permission or macOS Accessibility permission depending on your platform.
Where do I understand cloud words?
Use Ask Anything credit usage and the pricing page. Hosted STT and hosted LLM usage can consume cloud words, while BYOK/local provider paths depend on your own provider account.
Where do I configure BYOK providers?
Use the Provider Index first, then the specific STT or LLM provider page for API keys, base URLs, model names, and setup notes.
