No complex setup. No training required. Hold a key, speak, release. OnType turns your voice into text and commands in every application.
What people struggle with today.
Typing causes pain
Repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel, and arthritis make typing difficult or impossible. Voice input eliminates the physical strain.
Complex setup barriers
Many accessibility tools require extensive configuration and training. OnType works out of the box — download and start speaking.
App compatibility gaps
Some dictation tools only work in specific apps. OnType works system-wide in any macOS application with a text field.

Works in every app
Safari, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages, Microsoft Word — OnType types wherever your cursor is. System-wide compatibility.
