Your voice does more than type

Dictation is just the start. With your own AI key, Yapper becomes a voice-powered assistant that rewrites, answers, and transforms text — all without leaving your current app.

AI Transform

Select any text and speak an instruction: "Make this more formal." "Translate to German." "Summarize in 3 bullets." Yapper rewrites it in place.

so yeah basically i was thinking we should probably move the meeting to thursday because um you know sarah mentioned she cant make it on wednesday and also i think the report wont be ready until then anyway

Voice instruction
"Make this a professional email"
AI Transform Result

I'd like to suggest we reschedule the meeting to Thursday. Sarah has a conflict on Wednesday, and the report will be ready by then. Thursday works better for everyone involved — let me know if that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it really work offline?
Yes, 100%. Yapper uses two on-device engines (NVIDIA Parakeet and OpenAI Whisper) that run entirely on your Mac. Your audio never touches the internet. No account needed. No data collection. Just local transcription.
What Macs does it support?
Yapper requires macOS Sonoma (14.0) or later and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4 or newer).
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes. Parakeet supports 25 EU languages and Whisper supports 100+ languages. Set a primary and secondary language, then switch instantly with a hotkey (⇧⌥L) — a floating pill with the language flag confirms the switch. No need to dig into settings.
What are AI Transform and Hey Yapper?
AI Transform lets you select text in any app, speak a voice instruction (like "make this formal" or "translate to Spanish"), and get an AI-powered rewrite streamed right back. "Hey Yapper" is a voice Q&A assistant — say the wake phrase during any recording followed by a question, and get an instant answer in a floating overlay. Both features require your own API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, or Grok (usage-based, usually pennies per use). Core transcription remains 100% offline.
How accurate is the transcription?
Very accurate. Yapper includes two engines: NVIDIA Parakeet (110-190x real-time speed) and OpenAI Whisper, among the best speech recognition models available. Choose from 7 models depending on your accuracy, speed, and language needs.
Can I transcribe existing audio files?
Yes! Drag and drop MP3, WAV, or M4A files into Yapper. Great for meeting recordings, podcast notes, or voice memos.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Yapper comes with a fully functional 7-day free trial. No credit card required. Just download and start yapping. If you love it, a one-time $29 purchase gives you lifetime access.
What happens after the trial?
After 7 days, Yapper stops transcribing — but nothing is deleted. Your transcript history and settings stay right where you left them. Pay $29 anytime to pick up exactly where you stopped. No pressure, no expiry on the offer.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You get a full 7-day free trial to decide. If Yapper isn't for you, just don't buy it — no strings attached.
Why "Yapper"?
Because that's what you'll be doing — yapping away while your keyboard collects dust. Also, our mascot is an angry chihuahua, and if you've ever met one, you know they never stop yapping. Small but mighty.
