v1.1.0Arabic dictation on Pro.What's new
Local-first voice dictation for Windows

Your voice.Clearly typed

New in 1.1.0: Local Arabic and Arabic-English dictation on Pro. Optional model download; your audio is processed on your device. See what's new

FluxType turns speech into clear text in standard Windows text fields, with optional AI formatting when you choose it. Start locally without an account; use cloud or BYOK processing only when you need it. Free also includes a built-in Output Styles preview.

Capabilities

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

01

Dictation at Your Cursor

Press your hotkey, speak, and FluxType inserts the transcription into the active text field. Processing time depends on your model and PC.

02

Works in standard Windows text fields

Dictate into Word, Slack, VS Code, Chrome, Notion, Outlook — anything that accepts text input. No plugins required.

03

Private by Design

Local dictation is designed to run entirely on your machine. Cloud transcription and hosted AI are explicit choices, and no account is needed for the local path.

04

AI Writing, Local & Cloud

Start with free local English dictation and an optional Output Styles preview with an account. Pro adds local Arabic and Arabic-English dictation, larger models, more languages, and advanced writing tools. Cloud transcription and hosted AI are choices you make.

How it works

Three steps.
Zero friction.

04Local-First AI

Local dictation stays
on your machine.

FluxType's local dictation pipeline runs on-device with Whisper or the optional Pro Arabic model. Local transcription works offline after model setup. Cloud transcription and hosted AI are separate, opt-in paths.

Local audio uploaded

For local dictation, microphone audio is processed on-device rather than uploaded. Hosted Output Styles preview sends text through its selected provider path.

Whisper models plus optional Pro Arabic and Arabic-English dictation, processed on your device.

Cloud BYOK

OpenAI Whisper API plus Deepgram Nova-2 and Nova-3 with your own provider keys.

Real-time

Deepgram Nova-3 streaming for fast online capture when latency matters.

FluxType does not publish a single accuracy percentage because results vary by model, microphone, accent, language, background noise, vocabulary, and hardware. Review important output before sending or relying on it.

Compatibility

Works with every
Windows app.

FluxType inserts text into standard Windows text fields across the apps where you already work. No plugins, no setup.

…and other standard Windows text fields across your workflow.

06Privacy

Privacy-first,
by design.

FluxType was built from the ground up to keep your data yours. Local dictation has no cloud dependency. Pro AI and BYOK providers are opt-in and clearly labeled.

Local-first promise

Local dictation is designed so the transcription pipeline processes audio on your device and avoids network calls unless you explicitly choose an online Pro or BYOK feature.

01

No account to start

Free local dictation needs zero sign-up. No email, no telemetry, no local usage caps - just the app.

02

On-device processing

Whisper runs locally. Temporary audio files are created only on your device during transcription and cleaned up afterward.

03

BYOK stays on your device

OpenAI, Gemini, and Deepgram keys are encrypted with DPAPI on your machine. FluxType never stores them.

04

Explicit AI usage

FluxType AI processes text only after transcription, with clear monthly limits. Local raw dictation remains offline.

07Power users

Built for keyboard-
driven workflows.

If you live in your keyboard, FluxType fits right in. Customizable hotkeys, instant activation, no mouse required.
