The problem

Why this matters

Most speech-to-text services upload your audio to remote servers for processing. That creates privacy risk, latency, and dependency on a network connection. TovoType keeps the entire pipeline on your Mac.

Frequently asked questions

No. Audio, transcripts, selected text, history, and correction patterns stay on your Mac by default.
TovoType ships with curated local speech and polish models. The app hides model details so you do not have to manage them.
No. TovoType intentionally avoids provider setup and BYOK. It uses bundled local models selected per release.
For everyday writing, TovoType's local models are fast and accurate. If you need medical or legal-grade cloud transcription, a specialized cloud service may be a better fit.
