Why writers choose voice

Your keyboard is holding you back.

Three real problems that dictation solves — permanently.

RSI is ending careers

Repetitive strain injury forces writers to take weeks off at a time. Speaking puts zero load on your hands, wrists, and shoulders.

The blank page is a typing problem

You lose your train of thought hunting for keys. Speak your idea the moment it arrives — Lazytype catches it while it's still alive.

You think at 130 WPM. You type at 40.

The gap between your thoughts and your words isn't creative — it's mechanical. Remove the bottleneck.

How it works

Three steps. Then just write.

No plugin installs. No account setup. No friction between you and your words.

1

Install

Download the app for Mac or Windows. It lives in your menu bar — quiet until you need it. Under 10 seconds from download to running.

2

Configure once

Pick your shortcut, choose your AI model, turn on clean-up mode. Everything is optional — sensible defaults work out of the box.

3

Hold, speak, done

Hold Ctrl R, say your sentence, release. Clean prose lands exactly where your cursor is — in Word, Scrivener, anywhere.

Built for the way you write

Every feature earned its place.

No bloat. Just the tools that actually make your writing sessions faster and calmer.

Works in Word, Scrivener, Google Docs, Notion

Lazytype pastes directly into any app with a text cursor. No plugins. No copy-paste. Your draft appears exactly where you're writing.

AI clean-up removes your verbal tics

Filler words, false starts, repeated phrases — gone. What lands in your document is clean, punctuated prose, not transcription.

Realtime preview so you never lose a word

A floating bar shows your words as you speak them — before you've even finished the sentence. Catch a mistake mid-thought and keep going.

'Scratch that' to delete the last take

Say "scratch that" and the previous dictation disappears. No mouse, no keyboard, no interruption to your flow.

From writers

They stopped typing. They didn't stop writing.

★★★★★

"I was averaging 800 words an hour on a good day. After two weeks with Lazytype I'm consistently hitting 2,500. The AI cleanup is the real magic — it sounds like me, not a transcript."

"I have tendinitis in both wrists. I was terrified I'd have to stop writing entirely. Lazytype gave me my career back. I dictated my entire last chapter from the couch, hands in my lap."
