LiquidType
Liquid Glass voice typing for macOS 26 with an optional Jev fast path that types clean short sentences without waiting for LLM cleanup.
Overview
LiquidType is a native macOS voice typing tool styled with the Liquid Glass material of macOS 26. Holding the fn key records speech, shows the recognised text in real time or as a simple waveform, and types the result into the current app. It needs Accessibility and Microphone permissions and a DashScope API key for speech recognition, with documentation also in Chinese.
Per the listing, it has an optional Jev fast path: when a short transcribed sentence is already clean, it is typed immediately instead of waiting for an LLM cleanup pass, which presumably means Jev judges whether the raw transcript needs cleanup. The README excerpt focuses on installation and UI and does not detail this path, so the exact question is inferred. The app is distributed as an unnotarised DMG for Apple Silicon, with instructions to clear the quarantine flag, or can be built from source.
What the decision model decides
| Type | Question | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Yes / no | Is this transcribed sentence already clean enough to type without LLM cleanup?(inferred) | — |
How it works
- Hold fn to record
- Speech is transcribed in real time
- Optional Jev check decides if the text is clean
- Clean short text is typed immediately; otherwise LLM cleanup runs first
Strengths
- Lower latency on short, clean dictation
- Native macOS look and feel
- Live transcript or waveform modes
Caveats
- Jev path details not in the README excerpt
- Unnotarised app needs quarantine removal
- macOS 26 and Apple Silicon only
Getting started
Download LiquidType.dmg from the latest release, drag to Applications, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LiquidType.app, then add a DashScope key.At a glance
