Yakki is a macOS menu bar app that turns your voice into text instantly. Press a key to talk, and Yakki transcribes your speech on-device using on-device models. No cloud, no latency, no privacy concerns. It injects the transcribed text directly into whatever app you're using, making dictation feel seamless and native. Designed for speed and simplicity, Yakki stays out of your way until you need it.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Press a single key to start talking and Yakki converts your speech to text using your Mac's built-in processing power, no internet required
