Revi is the better pick if you want a tiny one-time-payment app with no account, no subscription, and minimal setup. Its €7.99 price is hard to beat, and three on-device engine options give you model flexibility without extra configuration. Typilot wins when you need the 27-command AI typing layer, ghost-text autocomplete, on-device meeting transcription with speaker diarization, or more than 25 languages. Both keep audio local by default.
Yes, and a broader one. Both run local dictation on macOS, Windows, and Linux with no audio upload by default. Revi is a one-time €7.99 purchase focused on lightweight transcription. Typilot adds 27 keyboard-triggered AI commands (gen:, fix:, rew:, sum:, trl:, img: and more), ghost-text autocomplete via a local Ollama model, on-device meeting transcription with speaker diarization, and 99+ languages.
Yes. Revi costs €7.99 as a one-time purchase with no subscription and no recurring fees. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card. Typilot offers a 3-day full-feature trial; paid tiers start at $7.99/month or $199 for a lifetime licence.
No. Revi focuses on on-device transcription with built-in text cleanup and a custom dictionary. It has no keyboard-triggered AI commands, no ghost-text autocomplete, and no meeting transcription. Typilot adds all three: 27 AI commands (gen:, fix:, rew:, sum:, trl:, img: and more), ghost-text autocomplete via a local Ollama model, and on-device meeting transcription with speaker diarization.
Revi bundles three on-device engine options: Apple SpeechAnalyzer (on Mac), NVIDIA Parakeet, and the full Whisper model family. All run locally with no audio upload. The app is 12 MB and works offline after download. Typilot uses on-device Whisper (tiny through large) across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
