Local

Whisper Base, Small, and Large v3 for private on-device dictation.

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.

The 94%+ word-recognition figure is calculated from Deepgram's published 5.26% median word error rate for Nova-3 batch transcription by subtracting the error rate from 100%. View benchmark source. Real-world accuracy depends on model choice, microphone quality, accent, language, background noise, vocabulary, and hardware.

Compatibility

Works with every
Windows app.

FluxType works system-wide across your entire OS — dictate into any app, anywhere. No plugins, no setup.

…and every other app on your Windows PC. If it accepts text, FluxType works with it.

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.

01

Customizable hotkey

Rebind to any key combo that fits your muscle memory.

02
