Typeless alternative
Local desktop software or a multilingual cloud service?
Typeless processes voice and context in the cloud under a zero-retention policy, spans desktop and mobile platforms, and adds translation and ask-anything workflows. IraVoice Local keeps speech recognition on your computer, on Mac, Windows, or Linux; IraVoice Cloud, coming soon, is planned to add cloud recognition and AI polish, and IraVoice’s servers will never store that audio or text.

Does Typeless process voice on-device?

No. Zero retention describes what the service keeps after processing. Local processing describes where the work happens. Typeless documents cloud processing with zero retention; IraVoice Local documents on-device speech recognition, while IraVoice Cloud, coming soon, will process audio and text in the cloud, where IraVoice’s servers never store them, Groq does not retain them, Anthropic deletes API inputs and outputs within 30 days, and neither trains on them.
