Yap
Fast, private voice dictation for Mac and Windows
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, with a searchable local history. Free for 3 days with no account or card, then a 10-day trial, then USD 6.90/month or USD 69/year.
