What It Is
AriaType is a local-first voice typing app for macOS and Windows.
It stays in the background. When you want to type, hold a global hotkey, speak naturally, and release. Your speech becomes text in the current app. Think of it as an AI voice keyboard you can use all day for docs, chat, notes, coding, and any workflow where speaking is faster than typing.
