About VTyper

Voice input for Linux, built natively.

Our Mission

Typing is a bottleneck for creative thought. We believe voice input should be as natural as breathing — fast, accurate, and available everywhere on your Linux system.

Our mission is to eliminate the friction between ideas and their digital expression.

Built for Linux, on Linux — not a port of a cross-platform tool.

Privacy by default

Voice data is processed in real time and never stored.

Open standards

Integrates with IBus, so it works in any app that accepts text.
