Dictate with confidence.
Your document knows what you mean.
Yap AI is the document-aware dictation tool that understands what you're working on, so brand names, variables, and keywords come out right the first time.
Tired of your dictation tool getting it wrong?
Blind transcription treats every word in isolation. That means critical details get mangled — and your work suffers.
Brand names butchered
Client emails go out with mangled product names. Campaigns look unprofessional. Trust erodes with every error.
Code corrupted
Variable names and APIs get mangled. Bugs slip into production. Hours lost debugging transcription mistakes.
Hours wasted cleaning up
You spend more time fixing transcripts than it would have taken to type. Dictation becomes more work than it's worth.
Built for accuracy.
Designed for your workflow.
Everything you need to dictate into your work without breaking flow or fixing errors.
Global Hotkey
Toggle recording from any app with a single keyboard shortcut. Stay in your document's context — no window switching, no flow lost. Default is ⌃⌥Space, fully customizable.
Auto-Clipboard
Transcriptions land on your clipboard automatically. Optional auto-paste into the focused app. Get back to creating, not correcting.
Full History
Every transcription is saved to a local SQLite database with the original audio. Search, replay, and export anytime. Never lose a brilliant idea.
Smart Polish
Optional AI cleanup understands your document's context — fixing punctuation, casing, and mishearings while preserving brand names, variables, and technical terms. Raw + polished both saved.
Privacy First
Your API key is stored locally with 600 permissions. Audio never leaves your machine except to xAI's API. No telemetry, no cloud storage.
Streaming or Batch
Use one-shot transcription for speed, or enable live streaming to see partial transcripts appear in the HUD as you speak. Your pace, your way.
Three steps. Zero cleanup.
Press the hotkey
A floating HUD appears. Start speaking from any app — no window switching, no context loss.
Speak your mind
yap captures 16 kHz mono audio in memory. Yap AI reads your document's context so brand names, variables, and keywords come out right.
Perfect text on clipboard
Press the hotkey again. Audio is sent to xAI STT, polished if enabled, and perfectly accurate text is on your clipboard in seconds.
