frigade.com, as visitors see it

Yap is a free, open-source voice dictation tool for macOS. It converts speech to text using Apple's Speech framework entirely on your device, with no account, API key, or telemetry required. Users press a customizable keyboard shortcut to start and stop dictation, and the transcribed text pastes directly into any application they are using, from terminals to browsers. Transcripts are stored locally and searchable, and dictation works offline once the speech model is downloaded.

  • On-device transcription using Apple's Speech framework
  • No account or API key required
