What it solves

Typefree is a macOS application designed to replace traditional typing with an AI-enhanced voice input system. It solves the friction of raw speech-to-text by automatically removing filler words (like "um" and "ah"), correcting sentence structure, adding punctuation, and formatting paragraphs before inserting the text directly into any active input field.

How it works

Users trigger voice input by holding a shortcut key or the mouse button. The app captures audio, converts it to text using Volcengine, and then uses LLMs (such as Tongyi Qianwen) to refine the transcript into polished writing. It can also function as a floating AI assistant: holding the mouse in a blank area allows users to ask questions that appear in a top-right overlay without switching windows.

Who it’s for

It is built for macOS users who want a faster, more natural way to input text across any application (WeChat, Notes, browsers, code editors) and those who want a quick way to query an AI assistant without leaving their current workflow.

Highlights

• Seamless Integration: Works in any app's input field by simulating keyboard input.
• AI Refinement: Automatically cleans up spoken language into written-style text.
• Contextual AI Assistant: Ask questions in blank spaces and receive answers in a floating panel.
• Voice Translation: Supports translating spoken text into English, Japanese, Korean, and other languages via specific voice commands.
• Custom Vocabulary: Learns from user corrections to improve recognition of specific names or product terms.
• Privacy-Focused: API keys are stored in the local keychain, and audio is sent directly to model providers when using personal keys.
