Why a lifetime licence ?
Most apps charge you every month.
For something that should cost almost nothing.
You've probably seen speech-to-text apps that charge 15, 20, even $30 every single month.
Here's the thing, the technology they use to understand your voice? It's available to anyone for a fraction of the price they charge you. They're just putting an interface on top of it and charging you forever.
TalkToWrite works differently.
You pay once and you're done. No subscription.
TalkToWrite is built around a local transcription model to minimize external API usage (the API is only triggered for text formatting, when you actually need it). You can also choose to run the transcription via cloud models. If your language isn't supported locally, for example, the cloud option gives you access to 99+ languages.
This cloud transcription and polishing is powered by Groq, a professional SOC2 Type2 certified service. It is the exact same engine used by competing transcription software that charges $20 every single month. You simply create a free account on their platform; it takes 60 seconds. That's it.
Groq provides a free allowance every month. For most people, this covers everything. If you ever manage to go over it—which is highly unlikely (it hasn't happened to us, and we are heavy power users)—it costs roughly $0.002 per minute of speech. Yes, a fraction of a cent.
We're telling you this upfront, because you deserve to know.

Groq is a professional AI company that provides the cloud engine TalkToWrite uses for transcription if you don't use the local model and for text refinement. Think of it like the fuel, TalkToWrite is the car. You create a free Groq account, copy a key they give you, paste it in TalkToWrite. That's the entire setup. 60 seconds.
Yes. Most speech-to-text subscription apps use the same underlying AI services, they just don't tell you, and they charge you $15–30/month for a layer of interface on top. TalkToWrite lets you connect directly, at cost.
It depends on which engine you use. With the local engine (if you don't polish the transcription): your audio never leaves your computer ever. With the cloud engine: it's processed by Groq, one of the most security-certified AI companies available, and is not stored or sold. Groq holds a SOC 2 Type 2 certification, one of the most rigorous independent security audits for data handling.
No. Your transcription history is stored locally on your machine, encrypted. We have no servers that receive your data. We literally cannot access what you dictate.
Modes tell TalkToWrite how to shape your words. Email Mode makes your dictation sound like a polished email. Notes Mode keeps it fast and informal. You can also create your own, describe what you want in plain English, and TalkToWrite builds the mode for you automatically.
With the cloud engine: 99+ languages, powered by Whisper — one of the most accurate multilingual transcription models available. With the offline engine: 22 European languages. Either way, you're covered.
