MicType turns your own AI into a keyboard. It runs on your account, not ours: you need an OpenAI API key and a connection. Without those, MicType cannot transcribe. Speak, and it types Tap the mic and talk โ€” in any app. Your words are recognized as you speak, and clean, punctuated, ready-to-send text lands at the cursor. Hold the mic instead and say what you want done โ€” polish, translate, rewrite, draft a reply, answer a question โ€” and the result is typed right where you are. Your AI, your key, no middleman Connect OpenAI with your own API key. Your audio and your text go straight from your phone to OpenAI. No account, no sign-in, and no MicType server โ€” we never receive, relay or store any of it. Before anything is sent, a plain-language disclosure tells you exactly what leaves your phone; remove your key and nothing is sent. Accurate first Every sentence is recognized twice โ€” live while you speak, and once more from the whole recording when you stop โ€” and the more accurate result is used. Text usually lands two to four seconds after you stop. Polish that sounds like you Fillers and stutters go, misheard words get fixed, numbers are written the way you write them, and a long rambling note becomes clear points. Facts, questions and negations are checked before the text is inserted โ€” if a rewrite drifts, you get your own words instead. Teach it your words Add names, products and jargon to your vocabulary and they are spelled right from the start, in the recognizer itself. MicType also notices the words it keeps getting wrong and suggests them. Buy once, no subscription Free for 30 days, then a single one-time purchase โ€” no monthly, no yearly. Separately, you pay your own provider for the tokens you use. Optimized for Chinese and mixed Chinese-English, and works in 20+ languages including Arabic. For people who want AI-assisted typing without handing their data to one more company.
