About

Lazy Voice Type

Type on your computer with your phone — keyboard, voice, recordings and files. Your phone is where you type fastest: autocorrect knows your habits and dictation understands how you speak. LazyVoiceType sends what you type or say to the cursor on your computer — in any app, in any text field. Text is injected as Unicode, so every language, accent and emoji arrives intact whatever keyboard layout the computer uses. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Voice input: tap the mic and speak; after a pause the text appears at the computer's cursor, with punctuation or a space added between segments • Standby microphone: start voice input with a hotkey on the computer, even when the phone is locked or the app is closed • Phone keyboard: handwriting, Cangjie, Pinyin and every other input method, with the composition visible while you type. Send as you type, or compose first and send when it's right • Recording: record meetings, lectures or ideas and get the full text with the key points • AI tools: fix punctuation, rewrite more formally, translate, or read the text in a photo. They run on the iPhone and need a model that supports Apple Intelligence • Send files: photos, scans, screenshots and documents go to the computer's Downloads folder, or straight into the chat you have open • Saved phrases: addresses, emails, usual replies — one tap types them on the computer • Every send is kept on the phone. Tap one to send it again HOW IT WORKS 1. Run the free companion program on your Windows PC or Mac. 2. In the app, tap Scan QR code, point it at the code on the computer, then enter the 6-digit code it shows. 3. Start typing. Phone and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi; if the network blocks them, use Bluetooth. YOUR DATA No account and no cloud. There is no server of ours in the middle: text goes from your phone to your computer. RUNS ALONGSIDE MOUSEPAD PRO Both apps can drive the same computer at once — separate ports, separate pairing.
