Why Linux users switch
Built for Linux, not ported as an afterthought
Vibe Typer is fully cross-platform, but Linux is where it stands out. Here is what you get that most dictation tools never ship on Linux at all.
Native Wayland and X11
Most voice typing tools skip Linux or only work under X11. Vibe Typer runs natively on both Wayland and X11, and it migrates your settings across automatically when you switch sessions.
One portable AppImage
Download a single AppImage and run it. No repositories to add and no dependencies to chase. The same build works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and Linux Mint.
Clean text in every app
From your terminal and Vim to your browser, editor, and chat apps, Vibe Typer types plain, correctly formatted text exactly where your cursor is. Nothing to configure.
Your audio is never stored
Recordings are processed in memory and discarded. No audio saved, no transcripts kept on our servers, and no training on your voice, ever.

Linux users, in their own words.
A lot of people arrive after giving up on tools that never shipped a real Linux app. Here’s what they say once they’ve switched.
I use Arch with KDE 6 Wayland and VT works perfectly. When I switched from X11 it automatically migrated the settings.
I’m really impressed with VT’s polish.
And hundreds more
I tried a few voice to text including more expensive ones but yours is best. I am on Windows and Linux so this is icing on the cake.
For the Linux users, highly recommended.
Looks like this has been popping off the last 2 weeks. This works ridiculously well on Linux.
I had to find an alternative after I moved to Linux and found Vibe Typer. Instantly signed up as soon as I reached my free limit.
It’s the fastest of all available right now.
Wonderful app, and the best Linux solution I’ve come across. My immense thanks to you for your work.
Really like the clean look and how easily it works in the background. Used Wispr Flow before and it was always slowing everything down and laggish. No other app had a Linux version!
Once you start using it, it quickly becomes part of your normal workflow.

Voice typing on Linux, answered.
Yes. Vibe Typer is a native desktop app for Linux, distributed as a portable AppImage that runs on modern 64-bit distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and Linux Mint. It is not a browser extension or a web app. It works system-wide, in every application.
Both. Vibe Typer supports Wayland and X11 sessions natively, and it migrates your settings automatically when you switch between them, something most voice typing tools don’t handle on Linux.
Download VibeTyper.AppImage from the downloads page, mark it executable (chmod +x), and run it. There are no repositories to add and no dependencies to chase.
It’s a popular choice for exactly that. Wispr Flow and SuperWhisper don’t offer native Linux apps, so Linux users switch to Vibe Typer for the same fast, AI-cleaned dictation, with native Wayland and X11 support. See the comparison guides below.
Yes. Vibe Typer delivers plain, correctly formatted text into terminals, Vim, and code editors, as well as browsers, chat apps, and email, wherever your cursor is.
Yes. Vibe Typer is free to download and use, with 2,000 words a month and 20 AI operations. Pro removes all limits for $8/month billed annually, or $10/month month-to-month.
