Bam. It's typed. YapToText is a free, open-source dictation app for macOS that runs entirely on your Mac. It is a no-subscription alternative to Wispr Flow, superwhisper, and MacWhisper: Whisper speech to text plus local AI cleanup, with no account and no cloud. Press one key, talk, and your words land wherever your cursor is. Nothing ever leaves your machine. Why it exists I built YapToText because I need it. My hands make typing difficult, so I dictate everything. The good dictation apps all wanted a subscription and sent my voice to their servers. I didn't want either, so I made my own, and I'm giving it away.
