Limits worth knowing in Voicetypr
- There is no free plan: after the 3-day trial a lifetime license is needed, and each license is capped at 1, 2 or 4 device activations.
- The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so the browser and SmartScreen show warnings when it is downloaded and first run.
- It needs macOS 14 or Windows 10 and later; Intel Macs get a legacy, Whisper-only build, and no mobile or Linux app is listed.
- Cloud transcription and AI formatting need your own provider keys, and those requests leave the computer.
