The case for slow voice
A dictation tool that tries to match your speed will always feel rushed. Slow down the model, let the user talk like they actually talk.

Your voice and your notes never leave your phone.
Dictation, cleanup, autocorrect, glide typing, and read-aloud run locally. Private by architecture, not just by policy. Compare the trade-offs across popular private Android voice keyboards or see which AI keyboards for Android fit different typing styles.
Voice typing, voice notes with local search, and read-aloud are $0 forever on Android, run on-device, and do not require an account. Desktop apps are separate and start with a seven-day trial.
Android 10 and newer. We test against the top-selling Pixel and Samsung devices each release; older Android versions may install but aren’t officially supported.
Yes. Everything runs on-device. Voice typing, glide typing, autocorrect, and the cleanup pass all happen on the phone’s own chip. Your words never leave the device.
No. Yaps for Android works on its own, without an account. The desktop apps are separate, optional products for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Yaps supports more than 20 languages and automatically recognises the language you speak, so you do not have to switch before dictating.
You can set Yaps as your default keyboard or keep Gboard alongside and switch when you want voice. Android lets you have multiple keyboards installed at once and pick per app.
