Lazytype
Pay once.
Dictate forever.
€25, yours for life. No renewal emails. No subscription creep. Just voice-to-text that works, forever.
Why one-time pricing?
Because software you depend on every day should belong to you, not rent space in your budget forever.
No subscription fatigue
The average knowledge worker already pays for six or more SaaS tools. One more monthly charge that quietly renews is the last thing you need. Lazytype Personal is a one-and-done transaction.
€25 total · everYou own your tools
A tool you paid for once stays on your machine and keeps working regardless of pricing changes, company pivots, or internet outages. With the offline engine, Lazytype works even without Wi-Fi.
Offline engine includedOne key, free Groq API
Groq's API is free for personal use — create a key in 60 seconds, paste it once, and you're done. The transcription runs on the same Whisper large-v3-turbo model used by tools costing 10× more.
Groq free tier covers daily useWhat voice dictation really costs you
Subscription pricing looks small each month. It adds up fast. Here's the honest math over three years.
| App | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | 3-year total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lazytype Personal this page | €25 | €0 | €0 | €25 |
| Whisperstream | $29 | $0 | $0 | $29 |
| Superwhisper | $108 | $108 | $108 | $324 |
| Wispr Flow Pro | $168 | $168 | $168 | $504 |
| Dragon Professional | $700 | $0 | $0 | $700 |
Subscription prices are approximate annual totals. Exchange rates not applied. Dragon Professional is a one-time purchase but does not include a lifetime upgrade guarantee.
Everything included in the one-time license
Not a stripped-down "lite" version. Everything Lazytype can do comes with the €25 purchase.
Dictate into any app
Text lands wherever your cursor is — email, chat, code editors, spreadsheets, even the command line. No copy-paste, no window switching.
Whisper large-v3-turbo on Groq
Roughly 216× faster than real time. A short sentence is transcribed in well under a second — faster than most people can read what they said.
Realtime live preview
A floating bar shows each word as it streams in — while you're still speaking. Catch a mistake mid-sentence. Final clean text lands when you release the key.
Speak one language, type another
Say something in Dutch, get clean English text in your email — no translation tab, no copy-paste. Any of 100+ language pairs, automatically detected.
Voice macros — multiple hotkeys
Assign different AI behaviors to different keys. One key dictates clean text, another translates as you speak, a third runs a command on your last sentence.
Context-aware tone
Lazytype reads which app is active and auto-adapts. Slack stays casual, Word gets formal punctuation, code editors preserve technical terms — no switching needed.
On-device offline engine
Switch to whisper.cpp and everything runs locally — no internet, no API key, no data leaving your machine. Great for sensitive content or airplane mode.
Privacy by design
Audio is sent only to transcribe a clip and never stored or logged. You bring your own key — your data never passes through Lazytype servers.
Voice commands
"Scratch that", "delete last word", "new line" — Lazytype understands correction commands so you can fix mistakes without touching the keyboard.
Lifetime updates
Every new feature we ship to the Personal plan is yours automatically. No annual upgrade fees, no "version 2.0" paywall. Pay once, get everything, forever.
Frequently asked questions
What's included in the one-time license?
The €25 Personal license gives you the full Lazytype app with every feature: dictation in any app, 100+ languages, AI clean-up, translation, voice macros, realtime preview bar, context-aware tone, voice commands, and the offline on-device engine. You bring your own free Groq API key — takes 60 seconds to get. There is no feature gating and no monthly cost.
Do I get updates forever?
Yes. All updates to the Personal tier are included for life. As long as Lazytype exists, your license works and you get every new feature we ship to the Personal plan — no upgrade prompts, no version-locked paywalls.
What if Groq changes their pricing?
Groq currently offers a generous free tier that comfortably covers typical personal dictation usage. If that ever changes, you have two paths: switch to another supported API provider, or enable the built-in offline engine (whisper.cpp) that runs entirely on your machine — no internet, no API key, no cost. You are never stranded.
Is there a trial before I buy?
Yes — 14 days free, all features unlocked, no payment method required to start. Download the app and begin dictating immediately. At the end of the trial you can purchase the one-time license or subscribe to Pro.
Can I upgrade to Pro later?
Yes. If you later want Lazytype to handle transcription for you — no API key setup, no Groq account — you can add a Pro subscription at any time from inside the app. Your one-time license stays valid permanently alongside it.
