Yap is a dictation app for Mac that types what you say into any app. Hold the Fn key, talk, and let go: your words appear at your cursor, punctuated, in Messages, Mail, Slack, Notes, your browser or your code editor. Speech recognition runs on your Mac, so your voice is never uploaded and dictation keeps working offline. It's typing at the speed of talking, minus the sore wrists.

Write emails as fast as you talk

Dictate privately, right on your Mac
Yap features
Dictate into any app
Hold Fn, speak, let go. Yap types your words where your cursor is, in whatever app you're using, from chats and email to documents and code.
Go hands-free for longer texts
Hold Fn and press Space to keep recording without holding a key. Press Fn again when you're done.
Keep your voice on your Mac
Speech recognition runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud: your recordings and text never leave it, and dictation works offline once the speech model is downloaded.
Speak in the languages you use
Dictate in English, Spanish, German, French and dozens more. Yap works out the language of each recording, or you pick the ones you speak.
Find anything you dictated
Every dictation lands in your history, saved only on this Mac. Search it, copy from it or delete it.
Punctuate by voice, if you like
Yap punctuates for you. Prefer control? Turn on spoken punctuation and say comma, period or new paragraph in English.
