• Vendor pages disagree on recording length: the support page says 15 minutes on Pro, the homepage and App Store listing say up to 90 minutes.

Typeless

• SSO, SCIM, audit logs and enforced HIPAA controls are Enterprise only.

Letterly

Dictation in any app

Speak inside Gmail, Slack, Notion or any other text field on a computer, or use the Letterly keyboard on iPhone, and the text is inserted where you are typing.

Voice notes with AI rewrites

Record a thought in the app and get cleaned-up text. Choose from 25+ premade rewrite styles, such as an email, post or summary, or build your own.

Meeting and lecture recaps

Long recordings, up to 90 minutes per note, become a transcript split by speaker along with a summary.

90+ languages and translation

The spoken language is detected automatically, including switches mid-sentence, and any note can be translated into 90+ languages.

Audio upload and offline recording

Transcribe audio and video recorded outside the app, and record without an internet connection when you are away from one.

Zapier, webhooks and MCP

Send notes to other apps through Zapier or webhooks, and connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP to search, manage or rewrite your notes.

Typeless

Dictation with auto-editing

Removes filler words such as "um" and "you know", cuts repeated words and keeps only your final wording when you change your mind mid-sentence.

Automatic formatting

Spoken lists, steps and key points are laid out as formatted text, so a dictated message or document needs less cleanup.

Speak to edit

Select any text and say what you want done to it, such as making it shorter or longer or changing its tone.

Ask anything

Select text and ask by voice for a summary, an explanation or a translation, without switching to another app.

Personal style and dictionary

Adapts to your tone, phrasing and writing habits, supports a different tone for each app and keeps a personal dictionary of your terms.

Privacy controls

Typeless says audio is processed in real time and never stored, dictation history stays on your device and data is never used for training. It lists ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA.
