OpenTypeless product UI
Before comparing feature lists, see the product UI states users touch when switching from MacWhisper.
| Stage | Evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop capture | A visible recording surface instead of a generic feature claim. | Users comparing MacWhisper can see where OpenTypeless fits into daily typing. |
| Provider control | Settings expose STT and LLM choices in one place. | The page shows the concrete control behind BYOK, local, and cloud workflows. |
| Output review | History gives users a place to check previous voice input results. | This makes the workflow feel inspectable instead of a one-shot black box. |
| Ask Anything | A small floating answer note handles voice questions without opening a chat app. | Users can compare not only dictation, but the second workflow: ask by voice and read the result. |
