Open the in-app demo or any real text field, make sure AiType is the active keyboard or hotkey surface, then say one full sentence and wait for cleaned text to appear before leaving setup.
First dictation first
Get to one clean sentence in under a minute.
AiType only becomes sticky after the first real dictation works. Use the platform checklist below, finish setup, test one sentence, and get the first real product win before you think about plans.
Universal first-win checklist

- Enable the keyboard, hotkey, or input permission it asks for.
- Grant microphone access.
- Open the AiType demo or any text field and dictate one full sentence.

Three things to check on the first try
Do not stop at install. The important moment is keyboard or shortcut enabled, microphone granted, and one clean sentence appearing in a real field.
On Android, tap into the in-app demo first. On iPhone, switch to AiType inside a message field. On desktop, test the hotkey in any text box you already use.
That keeps billing, access, and future upgrades consistent when you move between iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows after the first win.
