Yap
On-device AI dictation
$19 once
Free for 7 days, then US$19 once, from yapforever.com — it requires a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26 Tahoe or newer.
Speak, and Yap does the typing
Hold Right Option, speak, then let go. Yap turns your speech into tidy text and pastes it wherever your cursor is, with all the AI work done on your Mac.
-
Cleaned up by AI
Yap transcribes your speech and then cleans it up with a small AI model built into the app, removing false starts and filler words.
-
Works where you type
Yap works in any app where you can type, including Mail, Messages, Slack, Notes, your browser and your code editor.
-
Your voice stays put
Speech recognition and the AI clean-up both run on your Mac, so nothing you say leaves it. After a one-time setup, Yap works offline, and your audio is never saved.
-
US$19 once, that’s it
Yap costs US$19 once, tax included, with every feature and every future update on up to 3 of your Macs. It’s free for 7 days with no card, and refunds are available within 30 days.
