Just start yapping

Hold a shortcut, speak, and let go.
Your words appear in the app you’re using.

Get Yap for Windows

On your computer. In your own words.

Yap’s Dictate screen, with a microphone button, the Ctrl + Alt + Space shortcut, and a list of recent dictations.

ONE SHORTCUT. THREE STEPS.

From thought to text.

  1. 1

    Hold.

    Put your cursor in a text field.
    Hold Ctrl + Alt + Space.

  2. 2

    Speak.

    A message, a note, an idea.
    Say it in your own words.

  3. 3

    Let go.

    Yap transcribes your voice and
    pastes it into the focused app.

Prefer a toggle? Change the shortcut and recording mode in Settings.

Simple, with the details covered.

Your voice stays here.

Speech recognition runs on your computer. After model setup, you can dictate offline. No account, no cloud transcription, no analytics.

Pick up where you left off.

Search your dictation history, edit a transcript, or copy and export it. The original transcription stays intact.

Make room for your words.

Add names and technical terms to your vocabulary. Set preferred spellings and aliases for the words you use often.

More than live dictation.

Import an audio file and transcribe it locally. Optional cleanup handles spacing, punctuation, and common filler words.

Audio imports: up to 10 minutes. Formats beyond WAV require optional audio support.

Less typing, more yapping

Built for Windows x64. Install a speech model once,
then start with a shortcut.
