Step 5: Allow Typeless to work with your system

Typeless needs two key system permissions to work smoothly on your Mac: Accessibility access and Microphone access.

Step 6: Setting up microphone and keyboard shortcut

Choose your microphone

Typeless works with any microphone connected to your computer. A proper setup is key for the best dictation accuracy and speed. To check your setup, speak into your microphone.

• If you see the blue bar moving. Your microphone is working correctly. You can click Yes, continue to complete the setup.

• If you don't see the bar moving. Here are a couple of things to try:

  • Switch your input device. If you have multiple microphones, try selecting a different one within the Typeless app.
  • Check your Mac's system settings. Go to System Settings → Sound → Input. Make sure your preferred microphone is selected and that the input level responds when you speak.

Test your voice dictation hotkey

By default, Typeless uses the Function (fn) key to start and stop dictation. This key is available on nearly all Mac keyboards and typically isn't tied to any other actions, making it a smooth and reliable choice.

If you're unsure where it is: the fn key is usually at the bottom left of your keyboard.

If the Function key isn't your favorite – or it's already doing something else – you can change your hotkey to something that works better for you.
