Context-Based Transcription
Windows Voice Typing transcribes word-by-word as you speak, limiting its ability to understand context. WhisperTyping waits until you finish speaking and then processes the entire sentence together. This allows it to infer correct spelling and meaning based on full context - resulting in significantly higher accuracy, especially for names, technical terms, and homophones.
Flexible Activation
Windows Voice Typing is locked to the Win+H hotkey. WhisperTyping lets you choose your own hotkey, set up push-to-talk, double-tap activation, or even use your middle mouse button - a favorite among power users. You can also customize the position and behavior of the recording indicator to suit your workflow.
Text Replacements
Set up shortcuts that expand to longer text. Type "@@" and it becomes your email address. Say "meeting link" and insert your calendar booking URL. Create templates for common responses, signatures, or other text you regularly reuse.

Why WhisperTyping Is More Accurate
Whisper Large
WhisperTyping uses Whisper Large, a speech recognition model trained on over 680,000 hours of audio. It handles accents, background noise, and specialized terminology better than traditional speech engines.
Screen Context Scanning
WhisperTyping can optionally scan your screen to understand what you're working on. Writing an email to "John Smith"? It sees the name on screen and capitalizes it correctly. Working on a technical document? It picks up the terminology. This dramatically improves accuracy for your specific task.
Custom Vocabulary
Add your own terms, names, abbreviations, and industry jargon. WhisperTyping will recognize them accurately every time. Essential for medical, legal, technical, and specialized fields where standard speech recognition fails.
