Voicy is the right pick if you need dictation across five platforms including iPhone and Android, want a Chrome browser extension for web apps, and are comfortable with audio routing to Groq US servers on every request. Typilot is the better fit when local processing is a requirement, when you need offline operation, Linux support, an inline AI command layer, AI autocomplete, or meeting transcription with on-device speaker diarization.
Yes, particularly if you want dictation that processes audio on your device rather than routing it to cloud servers. Typilot uses a local Whisper model on macOS, Windows, and Linux - audio never leaves the machine and all features including AI commands and meeting transcription work offline. Voicy is the stronger choice if you need iOS or Android mobile access or a Chrome extension for web apps, and are comfortable with audio going to Groq US servers on every dictation.
Yes. Voicy routes every recording to Groq's US-hosted servers where Whisper V3 processes the audio. This applies at every pricing tier including the lifetime licence. Voicy and Groq both state they delete audio immediately after processing, though this is a policy commitment rather than an audited architecture. Typilot transcribes with a local Whisper model on macOS, Windows, and Linux - no audio ever leaves the device.
No. Voicy requires an internet connection for every dictation at every pricing tier; there is no local or offline mode. Typilot works fully offline once models are downloaded: dictation, AI commands, autocomplete, and meeting transcription all run without internet on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
No. Voicy supports Mac, Windows, a Chrome browser extension, iOS, and Android - there is no Linux desktop app. Typilot runs on macOS, Windows 10/11, and Linux including Wayland environments, keeping audio on the device at every tier across all three platforms.
