Epilude is the better pick if you work only on Mac, want a focused voice-to-polished-text workflow, need a Vocabulary layer for domain-specific spelling, or are on an Intel Mac where Cloud mode gives you full AI cleanup without a heavy local model. Typilot wins when you need Windows or Linux, want 27 on-demand AI commands for generating and rewriting text, need meeting transcription with speaker labels, want inline autocomplete, or want a lifetime pricing option. Epilude's Cloud mode makes it a hybrid product with an optional data-upload path; Typilot is local-only at every tier.
Yes - both are AI voice dictation tools that type polished text into any app. Typilot adds Windows and Linux support, 27 inline AI commands for on-demand text generation and rewriting, AI autocomplete via a local Ollama model, meeting transcription with on-device speaker diarization, and a $199 lifetime option that Epilude does not offer. Epilude has a more generous free trial (14 days or 1,000 words, no card), a custom Vocabulary feature for names and brands, and its own proprietary on-device model.
In Local Mode on Apple Silicon, yes - Epilude Model 4 runs entirely on-device and audio never leaves the Mac. Epilude also offers an optional Cloud mode that routes transcription to external servers, which trades local privacy for hardware flexibility on non-Apple-Silicon Macs. Typilot always processes audio on-device via a local Whisper model; there is no cloud path at any tier.
No. Epilude is macOS only; there is no Windows or Linux build. Typilot runs on macOS, Windows 10/11, and Linux including Wayland environments, and keeps audio on the device at every tier across all three platforms.
Epilude offers 14 days or 1,000 words with no credit card required. Typilot offers a 3-day full-feature trial. After the trial, Epilude is subscription-only with no lifetime option; Typilot is $7.99/month or $199 as a one-time lifetime purchase.
