How it works

One key, held for as long as you talk.

  1. 1

    Hold the hotkey

    Hold Ctrl + Space from any app. lipiX starts listening right away.

  2. 2

    Just talk

    Speak naturally, in English, Hindi, Hinglish, or any of 100 languages. lipiX records only while you hold the keys.

  3. 3

    Release to finish

    Let go of the keys and Whisper large-v3 on the lipiX server transcribes your speech in a moment.

  4. 4

    It types itself in

    The words appear right where your cursor is — editor, browser, terminal, or chat. No copying, no pasting.

100+ languages. One key.

Hindi, Hinglish, Punjabi, Kannada, Bengali or English. Hold Ctrl + Space, speak the way you speak, and lipiX types it in that script.

Insights

Your dictation, by the numbers.

Words dictated, day streak, time spoken, and a week of activity at a glance.

Who it is for

Anyone who types more than they would like to.

Developers

Commit messages, PR descriptions, standup notes. Dictated into the terminal, the editor, or Slack.

Writers

First drafts at talking speed, in LibreOffice, Notion, Obsidian, or the Scratchpad inside lipiX.

Students

Notes, assignments, and long WhatsApp replies. ₹99 a month, and nothing to install on a phone.

Privacy

Your voice is used once, then gone.

Your recording is sent over HTTPS only when you let go of the keys, turned into text, and thrown away. lipiX never saves your audio or your transcripts, and there's no API key for you to manage.

Features

Built for people who type all day.

100 languages, nothing to download

Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Spanish, and every other language Whisper large-v3 knows. Pick one in Settings and start talking; text comes out in its own script.

Works in every app

The text is typed straight at your cursor, so it lands in anything — editors, terminals, browsers, chat.

One key does it all

Hold a single shortcut to talk, release to finish. No window to hunt for, no buttons to click.

Honest about Wayland

Built for GNOME on Wayland from the start, using wl-copy and notify-send — the tools your desktop actually ships with.

Speed

Faster than your fastest typing.

Honest numbers, not marketing. A fast typist manages around 90 words a minute. Everyone speaks around 150.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Does lipiX need the internet?

Yes. When you let go of the keys, the recording goes to the lipiX server and is transcribed by Whisper large-v3, the most accurate Whisper model. That is what makes Hindi and 99 other languages work without a download or a fast CPU. A normal home or mobile connection is enough.

Which operating systems are supported?

Ubuntu GNOME on Wayland (a signed .deb with apt updates), Windows 10/11 (an installer with in-app updates), and macOS.

Will it work in my editor, terminal, browser, or chat app?

lipiX types at your cursor, so it works anywhere you can type: VS Code, Neovim, a terminal, Firefox, Slack, WhatsApp, Notion, Claude, and so on. The text is also copied to your clipboard every time.

Which languages does it understand?

100 of them: English, Hindi (types हिन्दी), Hinglish (types Hindi in Roman letters), Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu, Spanish, Chinese, and every other language Whisper large-v3 knows. It handles a wide range of accents, including Indian English. Pick your language in Settings.

Do I need a special microphone?

No. A laptop mic or any headset works. If a headset disconnects mid sentence, lipiX switches to the next available microphone on its own.

What does it cost?

The Free plan is free for good, no card needed. Pro is ₹99 per month, paid inside the app by UPI, GPay, PhonePe, or card. There is a 7-day no-questions refund on your first payment.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from inside the app. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, and nothing renews after that.

What data do you collect?

We never save your audio or your transcripts: a recording is transcribed and discarded. We store your email for sign-in and your subscription state. Full details are in the privacy policy.
