2. Install
macOS — bypass Gatekeeper on first launch
TypeLate is currently distributed without an Apple Developer signature, so macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch. To open it:
- Drag TypeLate.app into the Applications folder.
- Double-click — macOS will show “TypeLate cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and click Open Anyway next to the TypeLate warning.
- Confirm Open in the next dialog.
目前 TypeLate 尚未取得 Apple 開發者簽章，macOS Gatekeeper 會擋下第一次啟動。請依下列步驟開啟：
- 將 TypeLate.app 拖入 應用程式 資料夾。
- 雙擊 — macOS 會跳出 「無法打開 TypeLate，因為無法確認開發者」 的警告。
- 開啟 系統設定 → 隱私權與安全性，捲到最下方，點 TypeLate 旁的 強制打開。
- 在下一個對話框點 打開 確認。
Upgrading from a previous version? Open Privacy & Security → Accessibility, remove the old TypeLate entry with the
—button, then re-add the new one after first launch. macOS caches Accessibility against the code signature; stale entries look checked but don’t grant access.從舊版升級？ 開啟 隱私權與安全性 → 輔助使用，按
—移除舊的 TypeLate 項目，安裝新版後重新加入。macOS 會以程式簽章為快取依據，舊項目看起來打勾但實際無效。
Windows
Run TypeLate-windows-x64.exe. SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognized publisher — click More info then Run anyway.
執行 TypeLate-windows-x64.exe。SmartScreen 可能提示「未識別的發行者」 — 點 其他資訊 接著 仍要執行。
3. Onboarding wizard
On first launch TypeLate runs a five-step onboarding wizard:
- Welcome — Read the local-only data promise.
- Provider — Pick a transcription provider. Groq is the default and offers a generous free tier (28,800 seconds / day). See Providers & BYOK for the full list.
- API key — Paste your key. The wizard validates the prefix (e.g. Groq keys start with
gsk_). - Hotkey — Pick your trigger key.
Fnis the default on macOS. See Hotkeys & Trigger Modes. - Microphone test — TypeLate records a short sample and shows a live waveform so you know your mic works.
第一次開啟時，TypeLate 會跑一個 5 步引導：
4. Grant permissions
TypeLate needs three macOS permissions to function. The onboarding screen links you straight into System Settings.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Microphone | To capture your voice. |
| Accessibility | To detect the global hotkey and paste text into the active app. |
| Notifications | To show transcription completion when the HUD is hidden. |
On Windows, only the microphone permission is required and Windows will prompt you on first recording.
TypeLate 在 macOS 需要三項授權，引導頁會直接連到系統設定。
| 權限 | 用途 |
|---|---|
| 麥克風 | 收音用。 |
| 輔助使用 | 偵測全域熱鍵、把文字貼到當前 App。 |
| 通知 | 在 HUD 隱藏時顯示轉錄完成。 |
Windows 只需要麥克風權限，第一次錄音時系統會直接詢問。
5. Your first transcription
- Click into any text field — an email, a Slack message, a code editor.
- Press your hotkey (default
Fn). - The notch-style HUD appears at the top of your screen with a live waveform.
- Speak naturally. Don’t worry about filler words — AI cleans them up.
- Press the hotkey again to stop (toggle mode), or release it (hold mode).
- In ~3 seconds, polished text appears at your cursor.
That’s it. Try a few sentences in different apps to feel the context-aware tone shift.
- 把游標點進任何輸入欄位 — Email、Slack 訊息、程式碼編輯器都可以。
- 按下熱鍵（預設
Fn）。 - 螢幕上方會出現 notch 風格 HUD，顯示即時波形。
- 自然說話。贅詞、嗯啊不用避開 — AI 會幫你清掉。
- 再按一次熱鍵停止（Toggle 模式），或放開熱鍵（Hold 模式）。
- 約 3 秒後，潤稿後的文字會出現在游標位置。
就這樣。在不同的 App 試幾次，體會情境感知如何自動調整語氣。
What’s next
- Tweak your trigger feel in Hotkeys & Trigger Modes.
- If Groq’s free tier isn’t enough, configure another provider in Providers & BYOK.
- Pick the right enhancement style in AI Enhancement.
