Works anywhere you do
No switching tabs. No copy and pasting. TalkType works across your devices and drops text straight into any tool you normally write in, so you never have to change the way you work.
TalkType for Students
Produce the work you know you're capable of.
The hardest part of writing isn't having ideas. It's getting them down before they disappear. Speak naturally and watch your words appear instantly.
Do these challenges sound familiar?
Typing breaks your train of thought
By the time you've got the first sentence written, what came next is gone. Concentration breaks, momentum disappears, and you're starting again from nothing.
Your written work doesn't reflect what you know
The understanding is there. But what ends up on the page doesn't show it. Essays feel thin, arguments feel underdeveloped. That's not a knowledge problem.
Existing tools make it harder, not easier
Built-in dictation only works in one app at a time. Specialist tools require hours of training and are difficult to navigate. They weren’t designed with the way you think in mind.
The effort outweighs the output
A 2,000-word essay shouldn't take three times as long because you struggle to get your thoughts down on the page. That energy should go on the ideas.
How TalkType Works
Get started in seconds.
Here's what changes when typing is no longer the problem.
Your thoughts spill straight onto the page
Ideas move fast. Typing doesn't keep up. TalkType keeps pace with your thinking so nothing gets lost between your head and the page.
Your work reflects what you're actually capable of
When the barrier of typing is removed, what you produce finally starts to match what you know. Essays stop feeling like an uphill struggle and start feeling like a genuine reflection of your thinking.
You stop feeling like the problem
A lot of neurodivergent students know their struggles with writing aren't about intelligence. But when every tool makes the process harder, it's easy to start doubting yourself. TalkType works with how you think, not against it.
Designed for students who think differently.
AI writing tools
Say it first, perfect it later. TalkType’s AI tools help you refine sentences, reorganise paragraphs, and find the right tone, so your final draft does justice to the thinking behind it.
Custom dictionaries
Technical terms, course-specific vocabulary, or personal shorthand don’t have to get lost in translation. Add your own terminology to TalkType’s custom dictionary so everything you say is transcribed accurately, every time.
A dedicated space to think
Sometimes a blank doc in the middle of your existing work isn't the right environment. TalkType's built-in editor gives you a clean, distraction-free space to speak and write freely, without anything else competing for your attention.

Works wherever you study
Writing an essay
You've got your argument in your head but every time you try to type it, the thread breaks halfway through a sentence. With TalkType open alongside your document, you talk through your argument as it forms. The paragraph takes shape, you refine it with AI writing tools and it's ready to go.
Capturing thoughts after a lecture
The lecture finished ten minutes ago and you've got ideas you want to get down before they fade. You open TalkType, speak through your thoughts quickly, and end up with something usable rather than a half-remembered list of bullet points.
Talking through a tricky question
You know the answer but you can't get it started on the page. You use TalkType to think out loud, almost like explaining it to someone. A few minutes later, you've got a rough draft that actually reflects your argument.
Drafting emails to tutors or admin
Writing an email when you're already anxious about the subject is hard. TalkType lets you say what you mean naturally, then tidy it up before you send.
Secure and private
Your data is yours
TalkType doesn't use your data to train AI models. What you say stays private.
Nothing shared without your permission
Your TalkType account is personal. Nothing is shared with your university or anyone else without your consent.
Trusted within funding schemes
TalkType is a recognised tool within educational funding schemes across the UK, Canada, and the United States.
