What is Yap - Voice Dictation?
Hold a key, talk, and what you said lands at the cursor: your editor, browser, a chat box, the terminal, wherever you're typing. It's a free, open-source alternative to Wispr Flow and SuperWhisper, and it runs offline by default.
What you get:
- It stays private. Transcription runs locally with Whisper, so there's no account, no cloud, no telemetry, and nothing screenshots your screen. Audio only leaves your machine if you deliberately switch to a cloud engine.
- No word caps, no subscription. Wispr's free tier stops at 2,000 words a week and then runs $12–15/mo. yap is MIT-licensed, with no meter and nothing to upsell.
- Same on every OS. macOS, Windows and Linux share one config file.
- Quick. Faster than real time on CPU with the base model, near-instant with a GPU or a cloud key.
- Your keys, your endpoints. Point it at OpenAI, Groq, or a Whisper server you host yourself. There's an optional LLM cleanup pass too, against any OpenAI-compatible API.
