What is Ghostype?
GHOSTYPE positions itself as “your type’s spirit,” delivering input efficiency far surpassing keyboards through voice-driven operation: users average 150 words per minute via speech, compared to just 40 words per minute when typing. GHOSTYPE bridges this gap, providing 3.75 times faster input. Its core design is an “invisible genius”—no need to open a separate app; users can directly dictate into 24 applications including email, Slack, Notion, VS Code, and more, with support for customizing tone styles per app, automatic sending, and seamless multilingual switching. All voice data remains strictly stored locally, never uploaded or used for training, ensuring robust privacy protection.
Key features
AI polish: Each voice input is automatically optimized by AI, with adjustable thresholds—short sentences remain unchanged, while longer ones are automatically refined. For example, ‘so um I think we should probably like revisit the budget yeah’ is transformed into ‘I think we should revisit the budget.’
Suffix commands: By appending ‘ghost + context’ at the end of any sentence, you can trigger targeted rewrites. For instance, ‘hey this deadline isn’t gonna work for us ghost recipient is my VP, keep it professional’ generates professional language suitable for executive communication scenarios.

Frequently asked questions
