Commit messages, PR descriptions, Slack threads, code comments — you write thousands of words a day that aren't code. Lazytype handles the prose so your hands stay rested for the parts that matter.

Why developers choose voice
Typing isn't the problem. Everything around the code — the communication, the docs, the process — that's where the hours go.
Developers type more than almost any other profession. RSI doesn't care about deadlines. Prevention is faster than recovery.
The gap between your editor and Slack, Linear, Notion — every switch costs 20 minutes. Dictate without moving your hands from the keyboard.
Because typing it is painful. Speaking it takes thirty seconds. Ship the code and say the comment out loud on the way out.
How it works
Setup takes four minutes. After that, you'll forget it's a separate tool.
Download the app for Mac or Windows. No extensions, no plugins. It runs quietly in the background as a system-wide overlay.
1Add your Groq API key (free tier works fine) or enable the local engine for offline, air-gapped mode. Set your hotkey. Done.
2Hold your hotkey wherever your cursor is — Slack, VS Code, the terminal, a Linear ticket. Speak. Release. Text appears instantly.
3What makes it different
Not a browser extension. Not a standalone app you switch to. A system-level tool that's just there.
VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, Discord — Lazytype injects text wherever your cursor is. No plugin, no integration.
Enable the local engine and nothing leaves your machine. Useful for NDA projects, air-gapped environments, or when you simply don't want cloud.
Groq runs Whisper at 216× real-time speed. A 4-second voice note becomes text before you've moved your eyes back to the screen.
Assign a hotkey that dictates and also rewrites "formal" or "technical". One key for standup updates, another for PR descriptions, a third for casual Slack.
From engineers who switched
"I was sceptical — I type fast and I didn't think dictation would keep up with how I think. After a week, I'm writing PR descriptions in twenty seconds flat. The latency is genuinely imperceptible."
"The offline mode was the thing that sold me. I work on a client project under NDA and I couldn't use any cloud tools. Lazytype local is as accurate as anything I've tried online."
