The complete flow in 30 seconds.#

Use your Mac#

From version 1.2, you pair your iPhone or iPad with TypeWhisper for Mac over the local network. You then transcribe with a speech model on the Mac, use its language models for your formats, or run its text-processing workflows when dictating in the app or keyboard.

1. On your Mac, open TypeWhisper Settings > Premium > iPhone and iPad, allow paired devices, and click Pair Device…
2. In TypeWhisper on the iPhone, go to Settings > Premium > Mac and choose your Mac under Macs on This Network.
3. Check that both devices show the same six-digit code. Tap The Codes Match and approve on the Mac.
4. Tap Use for Speech Recognition and choose a model under Model on the Mac, or As Selected on the Mac.

The Mac's language models and workflows are available when Allow Writing with This Mac is on. Each workflow appears as a format at the end of your format list.
