Yaps

Yaps is an on-device AI voice layer for macOS that turns speech into cleaned, ready-to-use text, reads highlighted text aloud in natural offline voices, and saves dictations to a local markdown notes vault; it runs speech recognition and a tiny cleanup model entirely on your Mac (with optional small add-on models from the Yaps Store) so you get fast, accurate, private voice typing, auto-cleanup of filler words, real-time transcripts, and system-wide integration wherever a cursor blinks—ideal for anyone who wants hands-free writing, private meeting notes, or faster input without sending audio to the cloud.
