FAQ
Common questions, honest answers.
Is it really free?
The Groq API key is free — no credit card, no trial period, free forever. Tap2Talk itself is $69 one-time, or completely free if you refer 10 friends who install it. No subscriptions either way.
What's Groq?
Groq runs Whisper (speech-to-text) and Llama (text cleanup) on specialised fast hardware. You get a free API key at console.groq.com — no credit card required, free forever. Tap2Talk sends your audio to Groq for transcription and gets clean text back.
Does it work offline?
No. Tap2Talk needs an internet connection to reach Groq's servers for transcription. The upside is you get state-of-the-art accuracy without needing a powerful GPU on your machine.
Is my data private?
Yes. Audio goes directly from your computer to Groq via their API. We never see, store, or process your audio or text. Your API key stays on your machine. Groq's privacy policy covers their handling of API data.
Mac and Windows?
Yes — native apps for both platforms. Same hotkeys, same experience. Download the right version for your OS and you're good to go.
What happens if I hit Groq's rate limit?
Wait a minute and try again. The free tier is generous — 2,000 requests per day. Normal dictation use rarely hits limits. If you're a heavy user, Groq also offers paid tiers with higher limits.
Privacy by design. Tap2Talk does not collect telemetry, analytics, or usage data. Your audio goes directly to Groq's API using your own key. We have no servers, no accounts, and no way to see what you dictate. Your words are yours.
