Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 2 of the 27 other voice dictation apps we grade
Typeless is a dictation app that turns natural speech into edited text in any app. It removes filler words and repetition, applies corrections you make mid-sentence, and formats lists and steps automatically. You can also select existing text and edit it or ask questions about it by voice. It is available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, with a free plan limited by weekly word count.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Typeless, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You speak and edited text appears in whatever app you're in, with the cleanup done for you rather than left to you.
- 1
Best for dictation that cleans up as you speak
Typeless is dictation that removes the ums, keeps your final wording when you correct yourself, formats lists, and edits selected text by voice, on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 2
Paid plans start at $12 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $12 per member / month, billed yearly.
- 3
There is a free plan

- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
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.
- 6
Automatic formatting
Spoken lists, steps and key points are laid out as formatted text, so a dictated message or document needs less cleanup.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 2 of 27
That is against the other voice dictation apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Typeless you would be making dictation that types into any app on your computer. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for dictation that cleans up as you speak
Typeless is dictation that removes the ums, keeps your final wording when you correct yourself, formats lists, and edits selected text by voice, on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. But Pro is $12 per member a month on the yearly plan and $30 monthly, the free plan's weekly word limit isn't published, sync needs Pro, and there's no web app or API.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $12 per member a month on the yearly plan puts it in the dearest tenth of dictation apps, where the middle is $8.33. Pay monthly and it's $30 per member. Unlimited words and enhanced accuracy are what you're buying, and plenty of rivals include both for less. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The free plan has translation, Ask anything and the personal dictionary, but a weekly word limit the vendor doesn't publish anywhere, so you can't plan around it. Accuracy is standard, and so is your place in the queue when it's busy. |
| Features | B | It removes filler and repeats, keeps your final wording when you correct yourself, formats spoken lists, edits selected text by voice and answers questions about it, in 100+ languages. The dictation job is done end to end, with nothing a rival doesn't also offer. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.5 from 735 App Store ratings. You speak and edited text appears in whatever app you're in, with the cleanup done for you rather than left to you. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, so computer and both phones. No web app, though, and the listing has no integrations or API on record at all. Sync between your devices needs Pro. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Typeless is for
- Fits if you dictate on both a computer and a phone, Linux included
- Works for rewording existing text by voice as well as dictating new text
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you're just after dictation, at $12 a month yearly or $30 monthly when the category middle is $8.33
- Tight if you're staying free, because there's a weekly word limit and the number isn't published
- Skip it if you need SSO or audit logs on a small team, as those are Enterprise only
- Watch out: sync between your devices and team management need Pro
- Not for you if you want a web app or an API, as the listing shows neither
Good to know
Good for
- People who dictate on both desktop and phone, including Linux users
- Editing existing text by voice, not only dictating new text
- Users who do not want their audio stored in the cloud
Worth knowing
- The Free plan has a weekly word limit, and the vendor does not publish the number on its pricing page.
- Monthly billing costs $30 per member, against $12 per member per month on the yearly plan.
- Cloud sync across devices, team management and usage analytics need Pro.
- SSO, SCIM, audit logs and enforced HIPAA controls are Enterprise only.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Typeless you would be making dictation that types into any app on your computer. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 20 of the 27 other voice dictation apps grade higher. It costs $144 a year.
What you could not
- Dictation that types into any app on your computer.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: HIPAA.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Typeless’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
