FAQs

One workflow: dictation to polished text. You speak, TovoType transcribes locally on your Mac, and optionally cleans up the result before inserting it. You can also select existing text to rewrite or translate in place.
No. Audio, transcripts, and polish run on-device by default. There is no cloud round-trip for your voice or text.
No. Speech and polish models are bundled in the app and managed by app updates. After install, you only handle macOS permissions, then dictate. No model picker, no provider setup, no account.
TovoType is a one-time $9 purchase (normally $19) — no subscription, no recurring bill.
Because it is built around native macOS behavior, lower overhead, and a tighter experience. Staying Mac-only keeps the app lighter and the workflow more focused than cross-platform dictation layers.
Built-in dictation transcribes what you say and stops there. TovoType adds optional polish, selected-text rewrite, translation, app-aware style, history, usage stats, and hidden learning — all local, in one focused product.
Bundled local models, selected and shipped per app release. TovoType hides model details so daily users never manage them. We tune the model set over time through app updates, not user setup.
Yes. Dictation and polish run entirely on-device, so TovoType works without a network connection.

Speak it. Don't type it.
