Technical Architecture
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 and terminals. Speech recognition runs on your computer, so recordings are never uploaded. Works offline, 25 languages detected automatically, searchable local history. Runs on macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and Arm64). Free for 3 days from first launch with no account or card, then a 10-day trial with a card, then USD 6.90/month or USD 69/year.
