Vibe Typer

What it is

Vibe Typer is an AI dictation app that converts spoken words into clean, formatted text. Hold a hotkey, talk, and formatted text lands wherever your cursor is—in terminals, code editors, chat apps, email or any application with text input. It transcribes 99 languages, runs natively on Linux (both Wayland and X11), Windows, macOS, and as a keyboard app on iOS.

The app uses Magic Formatter to clean up natural speech patterns, removing filler words and punctuating correctly. Users can set custom writing style instructions that apply to every dictation, teach it names and terms through an auto-learning dictionary, and use AI rewrite and reply commands. Audio is sent to servers, transcribed in memory, and deleted immediately—nothing is stored.

Vibe Typer is free with a 2,000 word monthly limit and 20 AI operations. Pro removes both limits for $8 per month (annual billing) or $10 per month (month-to-month).

Questions from the bench

Is my voice data private?

Yes. Audio is sent to servers, transcribed in memory, and then deleted. Recordings are not stored on disk, transcripts are not kept after delivery, and nothing is used for training models.

What languages does Vibe Typer support?

99 languages. You can pick one in settings, star your five most-used languages, or leave it on Automatic to have Vibe Typer detect which language you're speaking.

Which platforms are supported?

Linux, Windows, macOS, and iPhone. On Linux it runs natively on both Wayland and X11. One account carries settings across all platforms.

Does Vibe Typer work on Wayland and my Linux distribution?

Yes. Vibe Typer runs as a portable AppImage on modern 64-bit distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch and Linux Mint, under both Wayland and X11. Text lands cleanly in any app including terminals and code editors.

How much does Pro cost?

Pro costs $96 per year (billed annually, working out to $8 a month) or $10 per month when billed monthly. Pro removes the word count and AI operation limits from the Free plan.
