If you are talking about normal house hold voltage it would depend in which country you live in. For North America it would be 120/240 volts. For Europe and Eastern countries it would be 240 volts. Industrial voltages vary from country to country. These normal voltages range from 120, 277, 240, 347, 415, 480, to 600 volts.

What Voltage type are in outlets at home?

Your home electrical wall outlets current capacity is governed by the breaker that feeds that circuit. In most home situations the wall receptacles are fed with a 15 amp breaker. Dedicated outlets could have a higher ampacity as they are installed for specific appliances or devices. To check your circuit, plug a lamp into the outlet. Start flipping the breakers off. When the lamp goes out that is the breaker for that circuit. Look on the handle of the breaker and it will tell you the capacity of that particular circuit.

Are there any dryers with a regular wall socket plug?

No; the third prong is there to protect you from stray voltage and it grounds the wiring. Although you could probably find an adaptor, it would be much safer for you to have an electrician rewire the outlets so they can accept a three prong plug.
