DialectiX -Type0 · macOS 15.0+

Six design choices that replace typing

DialectiX -Type0 isn't a transcription app. It's purpose-built for "drop dictated text into any field, anywhere".

⌨️

Just hold the fn key

No menu bar switching, no separate window. Hold fn (Globe) to record, release to instantly type at the cursor. Tap-toggle mode also available.

Lightning-fast input

Text appears the instant you stop speaking. A pipeline tuned for Apple Silicon plus parallel processing keeps you waiting on nothing — even hundreds of characters arrive without a stall. Several times faster than typing.

🎯

Four engines for Japanese precision

Switch among Apple Intelligence (on-device), Hybrid (Apple + Gemini refinement), Pure Gemini, or no correction. Pick the best for the moment.

🎛️

Customizable prompts

Rewrite the AI prompts that drive correction and translation. Tune politeness level, jargon handling, and tone of voice to fit how you actually write — turning Type0 into your own personalized machine.

🌐

CMD + fn for translated input

Speak in Japanese, type in English. Hold CMD with fn to invoke AI-powered translation as you dictate.

🔒

Audio never relays through us

Apple Intelligence runs on-device. Gemini calls go from your machine directly to Google with your API key. No middleman server.

How it works

01

Download the app and install

Apple Notarized + Developer ID signed. No Gatekeeper warnings.

02

Grant accessibility permission

One-time approval in System Settings — needed for fn-key monitoring and text injection.

03

(Optional) Enter a Gemini API key in Settings

Get a free key at Google AI Studio to enable Gemini-based correction and translation. Skip this if you only use Apple Intelligence.

04

Hold fn anywhere to dictate

Slack, Notion, terminal, IDE — anywhere with a text field.

Before you buy: BYOK

DialectiX -Type0 uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model. To enable Gemini-powered correction and translation, you'll need a free API key from Google AI Studio and paste it into the app's settings.

· Gemini API has a generous free tier (default model is Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite GA, etc.)
· No API key needed if you only use the Apple Intelligence engine
· Audio goes directly from your Mac to Google with your key — never through our servers

FAQ

Why isn't this in the Mac App Store?

DialectiX -Type0 needs CGEventTap (global fn-key monitoring) and AXUIElement (text injection), which macOS App Sandbox doesn't permit. We distribute as Apple Notarized DMG instead — installs without Gatekeeper warnings.

Is the Gemini API key required? What does it cost?

Not required if you only use the Apple Intelligence engine. For Hybrid, Pure Gemini, or translation, get a free key at Google AI Studio. Typical personal usage stays within the free tier (default model is Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite GA, etc.).

Where does my audio go?

Apple Intelligence engine: completely on-device. Gemini engine: directly to Google AI Studio using your API key. Either way, never through our servers.

How many Macs can I install on?

Use on as many of your own Macs as you like (personal use only).
