What is Yap?
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.
What it solves
- Typing long messages, docs and prompts is slow and tiring
- Cloud dictation tools upload your voice recordings to servers
- Built-in dictation is clumsy, lacks punctuation and fails offline
How it works
- Hold a shortcut, speak, release: Yap types clean text where your cursor is
- Speech recognition runs on your Mac or PC, so audio is never uploaded
- Detects 25 languages, adds punctuation and removes filler words
- Keeps a searchable dictation history on your device, works offline
