Does Latch replace built-in Windows voice typing?

It is a separate app. You press Ctrl+Win instead of the built-in shortcut, and the text is cleaned up before it is pasted.

Does it work offline?

No. Each take is processed online. If the connection drops, the badge tells you and nothing is pasted.

Yes. Every account gets 60 recorded minutes a month with every feature. No card needed. Past 60 minutes you get a reminder, never a cut-off.

Do you keep my audio or transcripts?

No. Audio and text pass through our server in memory for a single take and are dropped when the text comes back.

How long does setup take?

About a minute: run the installer, sign in from the badge, and press Ctrl+Win in any text field.
