Yap is voice dictation for Mac and Windows. Hold a shortcut, speak, and let go: Yap turns your speech into clean, punctuated text and types it into the app you are using, from email and docs to chat, browsers and terminals.

We are building it because typing is slow and most dictation sends your voice to the cloud. In Yap, speech recognition runs on your computer, so recordings are never uploaded, and it works offline. It detects 25 languages automatically and keeps a searchable history on your device.

Free for 3 days with no account or card, then a 10-day trial, then USD 6.90 a month or USD 69 a year.
