Dictate into any application without audio leaving your computer

Trype is BIST Consulting's dictation software for Windows, macOS and Linux. At a keyboard shortcut, Trype records, recognises speech with a model on your computer and writes the text wherever the cursor is.

Speak instead of typing

Trype runs in the background and writes into whichever application is open: Word, Outlook, practice software or the browser. Trype's interface is in German.

Hold a key, speak, let go.

At a keyboard shortcut, Trype records the microphone. When you let go, the text is on the clipboard or pasted straight in.

Any keyboard shortcut, or a mouse button if you like

Technical terms spelt correctly.

The terminology list holds terms Trype should know or correct, such as statute references or drug names. It applies after every dictation.

Your own terms as a hint for recognition
Corrections of common mistakes, such as “BGB Paragraph 626” to “BGB § 626”
Packages for law firms, medical practices and tax advisers, active in one click
A test field to try a correction before dictating

Terminology in Trype: terms such as BGB § 626 with the misrecognition Trype corrects

Recurring text with a single word.

A snippet replaces a spoken keyword with stored text, such as a closing, a confidentiality notice or your email address.

Any keyword and text, over several lines too
Frequently used snippets on top, with a counter
A test field shows the result before dictating

Snippets in Trype: keywords such as “Grußformel” with the text inserted when dictating

Writing style and format, adjusted locally.

If you wish, a local language model revises the dictation. It writes formally or casually and puts the text into a template such as an email or a brief.

Filler words such as “ähm” removed, without a language model
A formal, personal or casual style
Templates for email and briefs, plus your own such as a file note
The language model runs locally and needs about 1.5 GB
